The amount of each size particle in soil is the particle size distribution. Do you think this is a good way to determine particle size distribution? Why or why not

This is not a good way to determine the soil particle size distribution.

Explanation:

The best way to determine the soil particle size distribution is through particle size analysis.

The granulometric analysis is the activity that allows the full determination of the size of the particles that compose the soil and its distributions based on their sizes. This analysis is divided into two parts (sieving and sedimentation) which are variable in relation to the type of soil analyzed and the purpose of the analysis. However, in general we can affirm that in sandy and thick soils that have many boulders, the screening method is used, while soils of finer consistency, the two techniques are used together.
