Trends in grain size over large areas can be used to infer the direction of
sediment dispersal, with grainsize decreasing away from the source
area.
Una vez adquirida, la redondez de clastos de cuarzo se conserva a travs de muchos otros
ciclos de transporte, por tanto no son evidencia de p. ej. episodiosde vientosextendidos en el
tiempo o pocos episodios intensos en corto tiempo.
Once the grain-size distribution has been obtained then the sediment
can be characterized by several parameters: mean grain size, mode,
median grain size, sorting and skewness.
Where there has been minimal current activity, the sediments are generally
texturally immature; persistent current or wind activity results in more mature
sediments.
