When all the particles in a sediment are about the same size, the sediment is said to be well-sorted. This typically indicates that the sediment has been through a sorting process, such as transportation by water or wind, that has separated particles by size. Well-sorted sediments often have better porosity and permeability properties.
When all the particles in sediment are about the same size, the sediment is said to be well-sorted. Well-sorted sediments have particles that are uniform in size, typically due to a similar energy environment during deposition. This can indicate long transport distances or selective sorting processes.
No, particles can vary in size. They can range from atoms, which are extremely small, to larger particles like dust, pollen, or sand. The size of a particle can have various effects on its properties and behavior.
It depends on how strong the wind is, and where and how far reaching that wind is. Also, if there is little vegetation to trap the sediment, more of it will be carried away by the winds. The classic example of this would be the dust bowl in America. This was caused by bad farming methods, which stripped the west of it's native grass. THis allowed Huge dust storms to blight the whole Midwest, and in one case, carried dust and sand from the far west all the way to the Atlantic ocean! So basically, size of particles, wind speed and opportunity for erosion all play into how dust is carried in the winds
Democritus theorized that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. He believed that these atoms were all the same in substance but differed in size, shape, and arrangement, giving rise to the diversity of matter observed in the world.

Possibly, silt (including clays), sand and gravel. Which are all probably defined by particle size.

Quarks are considered to be fundamental particles, and as such they do not really have a classical "size". Their masses can be compared, however, and they are not the same for all types of quarks.

Gravel, sand, and mud are all types of sedimentary particles, with gravel being the largest size, followed by sand, and then mud being the smallest. Collectively, these sediments are referred to as clastic sediment.
Sand particles are in fact a variety of sizes on the same beach front. This is because these sand particles are formed at different times through different processes.
Sand, silt, gravel, and clay are similar in that they are all commonly found sediment types. They differ in particle size, with sand having the largest particles, followed by silt, then clay, and gravel having the largest particles. These sediments play crucial roles in soil composition and can impact properties like drainage and fertility.
False. The rate of a chemical reaction can be influenced by the size of the reactant particles. Smaller particles have a larger surface area, allowing for more frequent collisions between particles and therefore potentially increasing the rate of reaction.
No, Dalton did not say that all atoms are the same size. Instead, Dalton proposed that all elements are composed of indivisible particles called atoms, and that atoms of different elements have different sizes and properties.
