This is to do with tide patterns and percolation. A wave's swash (wave going up the beach) is very powerful and has enough power to carry large pebbles up the beach. However on a pebble beach, a lot of the waves energy is lost filling the gaps in the pebbles. All those small spaces mean the wave loses power and its backwash (wave going back down the beach) is much weaker than its swash. Only the smaller pebbles can be pulled back down the beach. This leaves the larger pebbles further up the beach.

What will happen if pebbles and sand mix together?
gravel forms
Do pebbles or sand grains sink faster?
The pebbles because silt and clay settles so slowly through water that some tiny particles take centuries to reach the bottom when pebbles go straight down.You have to make a couple of assumptions here!1) The material forming the sand and the pebble has roughly the same density2) They are both sinking through the same fluidThis is because the maximum sinking velocity (Vs) is controlled by Stokes' law:Vs = (( g x R2 x (Dp - Df)) / (18 x n))Whereg = gravitational accelerationR = particle radiusDp = particle densityDf = fluid densityn = fluid viscosityFrom the above it follows that if the density of the particles is the same and the fluid through which they are falling is the same then the only other variable is the radius. As this is on the top of the fraction, the larger it is, the larger the particles velocity.
Why do temperatures become cooler as you go higher above sea level?
As you ascend higher above sea level, the air pressure and density decrease. With a decrease in air pressure, the air molecules are less tightly packed, making it harder for them to retain heat. This leads to a temperature drop as you go higher above sea level.
How is temperature and latitude related?
Temperature and latitude are inversely related - generally, as you move closer to the equator (lower latitudes), temperatures tend to be higher, while as you move towards the poles (higher latitudes), temperatures tend to be lower. This relationship is due to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface, with more direct sunlight at lower latitudes leading to higher temperatures.
What do waves change as they reach the shore?
As waves reach the shore, they change in several ways. The wave height decreases, the wavelength shortens, and the wave steepens due to friction with the sea floor, leading to the waves eventually breaking and dissipating their energy along the shoreline.
Does salt residue from beach pebbles affect the pH levels of an aquarium?
The residue on the pebbles is not just salt. It contains very many elements that go into sea water. The pH will be effected (raised) if sufficient sea salt is added.
What is the name of the Game where you move pebbles around?

What is the number greater than but closet to 6000?
Integers: 6001. Real numbers: There is no such number. You can get closer and closer, yet there will always be a smaller number (6000.1, 6000.01, 6000.001, ... you can go on and on).
How come you cant take your pebbles pet on fantage inside your house?
because pebbles are shy and too small to go outside
Why does it take planets longer to go round the sun?
Gravity. The closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it must move to keep from falling into the sun. So note; the closer in; the smaller the orbit AND the faster the speed.

Buy any pets thats not a pebbles, pebbles are shy they don't like to go out and walk.
