Note:

Clay = smallest
Slit = Middle
Sand= largest

Hjulstrom Diagram

- Erosion occurs at high velocities

- Deposition occurs at low velocities
- Transport without erosion or deposition occurs in the
middle.
- as pieces get larger they erode more effectively, so they
can cause erosion at lower velocity, but the curve goes back up because larger
sediments cannot be
carried by water of
low velocity.
