An accumulation of sediment can also be characterized by the grain size distribution. A sediment deposit can undergo sorting when a particle size range is removed by an agency such as a river or the wind. The sorting can be quantified using the Inclusive Graphic Standard Deviation:

In some schemes, gravel is anything larger than sand (comprising granule, pebble, cobble, and boulder in the table above).
