Final answer:

Grain size, sorting, and grain shape in sediments provide crucial insights into deposition conditions and transport distances.


Explanation:

Grain size is a feature that tells you how large the grains of a sediment are. It provides information about the conditions under which the sediment was deposited, with larger grains indicating closer proximity to the source rock.

Sorting is a characteristic used to infer the relative distance that sediments have traveled from their source rock. Well-sorted sediments have grains of uniform size and shape, indicating longer transport distances.

Additionally, grain shape can also provide insights into the sediment's history, with rounded grains suggesting longer travel distances and angular grains indicating proximity to the source rock.
