Sediment Size Ordering
Sediments are classified based on their grain size. Understanding the relative sizes of geological terms like Pebble, Boulder, Granule, and Cobble is key to ordering them correctly.
The standard ascending order of size for these sediments is:
- Granule: Typically ranges from 2 mm to 4 mm. (Label C)
- Pebble: Ranges from 4 mm to 64 mm. (Label A)
- Cobble: Ranges from 64 mm to 256 mm. (Label D)
- Boulder: Larger than 256 mm. (Label B)
Therefore, the ascending order of size is represented by the sequence: Granule, Pebble, Cobble, Boulder.
Correct Option Selection
Mapping the labels to the ordered sizes:
- C (Granule)
- A (Pebble)
- D (Cobble)
- B (Boulder)
The correct sequence in ascending order of size is C, A, D, B.
This sequence matches Option 4.
