• Marine sedimentRelated: Particle size helps distinguish fine deep-sea deposits from coarse deposits near shore.

• Turbidity currentRelated: Particle size affects settling speed, suspension, and the distance grains travel.

• LithificationRelated: Grain size affects how sediment packs and how readily fluids move through its pores.

• HornfelsRelated: Fine grain size is a defining textural feature of hornfels.

• Kozeny–Carman equationRelated: Grain size often provides an indirect estimate of the pore scale and surface area.

• Ripple marksRelated: Particle size influences the flow speed needed to move grains and build ripples.

• BrecciaRelated: Fragment size helps describe and classify breccias.

• Clastic rockRelated: Grain size separates clastic rocks into categories such as conglomerate, sandstone, and shale.

• ScreeRelated: Scree is identified partly by its coarse, blocky particle sizes.

• Stream bedRelated: Grain size helps determine when bed material begins to move and how quickly it settles.
