The size of the sediments from the smallest to the largest is clay followed by silt and then sand.

What is soil texture?

It refers to the relative particle size composition of the soil. In the soil, the particle size composition refers to the percentage of the mineral matter by weight in each fraction. On the basis of the International Society of the Soil Science, the size of the various types of soils are:

  • Clay less than 0.002
  • Silt between 0.002 to 0.02
  • Fine sand between 0.02 to 0.20
  • Coarse sand between 0.20 to 2.0

Thus, the correct order of sediment size from smallest to largest will be clay-silt-sand.
