What are four grain sizes in order from smallest to largest?

The boulders sand clay and silt that drop from a glacier when it retreats are called what?
The material left behind by a retreating glacier, including boulders, sand, clay, and silt, is known as moraine.
What type of particles of soil allow the least porosity?
Clay particles have the smallest pore spaces compared to sand and silt particles, thereby allowing for the least porosity in soil.
In order from smallest to largest the grain sizes used to describe detrital rocks?
Detrital sediment is rock in small particles or other material worn or broken away from a mass, as by the action of water or glacial ice. They include (in decreasing size) boulders, cobbles, pebbles, sand, silt, and clay.
List the three types of weathered rock particles found in soil?
The three types of weathered rock particles found in soil are sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest, followed by silt, and clay particles are the smallest.

What sedimentary rock is measured by the wentworth scale of grain?
The Wentworth Scale commonly measures grains of boulders, cobble, gravel, pebbles, sand, silt, clay and calloid.
The boulders sand clay and silt that drop from a glacier when it retreats are called what?

What is it called when boulders sand clay and silt drop from a glacier?
Slump
What type of particles of soil allow the least porosity?
Clay particles have the smallest pore spaces compared to sand and silt particles, thereby allowing for the least porosity in soil.
What is river load?

When boulders sand clay and silt that drop from a glacier when it retreats are called?
A moraine drumlins
The boulders sand clay and silt that drop from a glacier when it slows down are called?
The boulders, sand, clay, and silt that are deposited by a glacier as it slows down and melts are called glacial till. This material is unsorted and varies in size, ranging from large boulders to fine silt. Glacial till is often found as moraines, which are accumulations of debris along the edges or at the terminus of a glacier.
What does a river leave behind when it floods?
Topsoil, sand, silt, organic debris, and other assorted material.
What is a list of the 3 particles of soil from largest to smallest?
clay, sand, and silt make up inorganic material in soil
