Gravel is a physical label for small rock fragments. Gravel can be produced by crushing of any rock type, i.e., metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous, or can be obtained from vast deposits left by glacial means, which normally require a mechanical sorting for required sizes. Naturally pre-sorted deposits can be found in rivers and stream beds.
