Answer 2

clay - silt - sand

Step-by-step explanation:

Sediments are the smaller particles deriving from weathering and erosion of rocks. The size of the sediments from the smallest to the largest is clay - silt - sand.

Sand, clay, and silt are the three main rock particles formed by the erosion of sedimentary rocks.

These particles vary in rock size. Clay is the smallest particle with less than a size of 0.002 millimeters. Silt has a size of 0.002 -0.02 millimeters. Sand has a size of 0.02 -2.0 millimeters.
