True. However the exact size of the particles that water can carry depend on the flow velocity (the higher the velocity, the larger the material that can be transported).

What do fine sand and gravel do to water?
The gravel and sand filter out smaller particles from the water
Suppose sand gravel and clay are being carried by a river As the water enters a lake and slows down In what order will these sediments settle out of the water?
the sediment could change in order bto the types of erosions. as a river slows larger pieces settle first gravel settes first, then sand, and then tiny clay sized clay particles
What is the particle size of clastic sedimentary rocks?
Shale is composed of the smallest particles of other rocks.
What are small fragments of minerals or rocks usually deposited as sediment?

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into small particles such as sand and what?
Gravel.
In a stream channel what sediment is deposited first?
gravel sized particles
Moving water that carries small particels of soil sand and gravel is called what?
Erosion-is the carrying small particles and other solids. (dirt, leaves, rocks and other particles)
When a sedimentary rock consists of angular and gravel-sized particles what s it called?
If the sedimentary rock contains angular gravel sized (> 2mm) sediment it is called a brecciia. If the gravel is rounded it is called a conglomerate.
What three are 3 main particles sediment is divided in?
Possibly, silt (including clays), sand and gravel. Which are all probably defined by particle size.
Sand gravel and mud are examples of?
sediment
Is sand a gravel?
No. Sand and gravel are two different terms for describing sediment size. Gravel is a size up from sand.
What is gravel sand and mud are called what sediment?
clastic
What type of clastic sediment has the largest particle?
gravel
Which sediment will allow water to pass through most easily?
sediments made of larger particles will have larger spaces between them, and thus allow greater fluid flow.
Sediment is made from pieces of?
Sediment is made from clay, gravel, some organic matter, weathered limestone and basalt.
What is a place where sand and gravel are removed from the earth called?
Sediment plant
What are tiny pieces of broken rock?
