Boulder is the largest particle size, followed by cobble, pebble, gravel (or granule), sand, silt and clay. It takes energy to move particles. The larger or heavier the particle, the more energy it will take to move it.

Boulder is the largest particle size, followed by cobble, pebble, gravel (or granule), sand, silt and clay. It takes energy to move particles. The larger or heavier the particle, the more energy it will take to move it. Lower the energy level and the particle will be deposited instead of moved. The image below illustrates this point.

Gravel is an overall name for large sediment grain size, which includes boulder, cobble, and pebble. Sand includes sediment grains ranging in size from 2mm to 0.625 mm. Silt is the name of a sediment grain that range in size from 0.625 mm to 0.0039 mm. Mud is the smallest grain size and is also known as clay.
