Granulometry

Granulometry is the study of the size distribution of particles in a material, typically in natural substances like soil, sand, or sediment. It involves measuring and analyzing the different sizes of particles to understand their properties and behavior. This information is important in various fields, such as geology, environmental science, and civil engineering, as it helps determine how materials will interact with water, air, and vegetation, or how they can be used in construction. Essentially, granulometry provides insights into the composition and suitability of materials for specific purposes based on particle sizes.
