Both terrestrial and marine sediments are classified by size using the same scale. 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.

Classification of sand and gravel by size | Stone Crusher
Generally, the particle size of concrete is graded, between 5-25mm. Graded gravel Graded crushed stone is a mixture composed of fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and stone chips in a certain proportion. When the particle composition meets the requirements of dense grading, it becomes graded crushed stone, which is generally used for less traffic.

Sedimentary rock
Sedimentary rock - Grain Size, Stratification, Deposition: Particle size is an important textural parameter of clastic rocks because it supplies information on the conditions of transportation, sorting, and deposition of the sediment and provides some clues to the history of events that occurred at the depositional site prior to final induration. Determining the sizes of the discrete …

Clast Size & Sorting
Clast Size & Sorting When studying sedimentary rocks, the one of the most obvious aspects will be the particle or clast size. Determining whether a sedimentary rock is composed of sand-sized, silt or clay, or gravel is the first step in identifying clastic sedimentary rocks. The following table defines these terms based on average particle diameter.
