During transportation, particles are brought into contact with the stream bed and with each other and so are abraded.
The characteristic shape of alluvial soils is rounded or sub-rounded. Even more wear takes place in shore-zone littoral deposits, producing a fully water-worn rounded shape.
The movement of ice also provides transport for weathered debris. For example, a glacier acts as a slow-moving conveyor belt, carrying sometimes very large boulders considerable distances. The weight of a boulder causes it to sink down through the ice. As it reaches the sole of the glacier, it is ground against the rock base and may whiglow reduced to a very fine rock-flour. Thus, the range of particle sizes in, say, a boulder clay is very large indeed.
The material deposited as a glacier begins to melt and retreat is termed moraine; this also will comprise a wide range of sizes and usually takes the form of a ridge or a series of flat hummocky hills. Therefore, it is convenient to think of a soil model which has three phases: These are identifiable pieces of the parent rock containing several minerals. The overall soundness of the soil will depend on the extent of differential mineral decomposition within individual fragments.
For example, the presence whotlow kaolinised granite fragments could influence the crushing strength or shear strength of the soil. These are separate particles of each particular mineral and range in size from gravel 2 mm down to clay I pm. While some soils will contain mixtures of different minerals, a large number will consist almost entirely of one mineral.

For convenience, it is useful to divide soil into two major groups: Their grains will be rounded or angular and usually consist of fragments of rock or quartz or jasper, with iron oxide, calcite, mica often present.
