Text and Images from Slide

5.5 How are sedimentary rocks classified?

Image showing example of 'rounding', one example shows poorly rounded rocks, another shows moderately rounded rocks, and the last example is 'well rounded' rocks.

Elements of texture

Rounding is also related to force in that to round, force must be realized over time (and thus distance as it is moving)—as particles bump over each other and other obstacles they chip away and become smaller.
