During deposition, larger particles usually settle to the bottom faster than smaller particles do.
During deposition, larger particles usually settle to the bottom faster than smaller particles do.When turbidity currents reach the deep ocean floor, the slope decreases. The current decreases and the largest, most dense sediments are deposited first. This process is called vertical sorting, which results in graded bedding.
It is called graded bedding.
The property that best describes a rock which has formed from sediments is that it is usually graded. It has fossils which are in form of rounded particles.
Surfaces between layers of sediments (bedding planes) are usually deposited in horizontal sheets, but cross-bedding is inclined. Graded beds are horizontal and are usually sorted from coarse at the bottom to fine at the top.
Vertical sorting is alignment of sediments in vertical position. Vertical sorting is alignment of sediments in vertical position. the sedimentation of mixed particles in order of big, medium, small

The storms create temporary streams. The streams carry sediments with them. Soon these sediments are settle down creating a graded bedding.

A well sorted soil has particles which are all a similar size, a well graded soil would be classified as poorly graded. Whereas a poorly sorted soil has a wide range of particle sizes and is classified as well graded. On a particle size distribution a well sorted soil gives a steep gradient.
Graded bedding is a sediment deposit characterized by coarse sediments at its base, which grade upward into progressively finer ones. Graded beds generally represent depositional environments which decrease in transport energy as time passes, but also form during rapid depositional events. They are perhaps best represented in turbidite strata, where they indicate a sudden strong current that deposits heavy, coarse sediments first, with finer ones following as the current weakens. They can also form in terrestrial stream deposits.

hotels are usually graded on the service how rude the servers are.
In step-graded the acceptor and donor concentrations in the semiconductor are constants up to the junction.In a linearly-graded junction, impurity concentration varies linearly with distance from the junction
