The soils are made up of sand and mud, mixed with stones and gravel


Explication :
Please post just the problem term in the term box in future, and the context below.

A stone is bigger than a piece of gravel, I suppose, and pieces of gravel are fairly uniform in size.

HTH.

Bad loser corner!!! Hahaha!

Here goes:

There is a little overlap between sand and sit, strictly speaking

silt
/sɪlt/
Apprenez à prononcer
noun
fine sand, clay, or other material carried by running water and deposited as a sediment, especially in a channel or harbour.

Your question is listed as being about geology, but I think that ultimately it might be about wine, and I suppose you don't want your vines growing in mud, but... "Where there's muck there's money" - Irish saying!
