The results from a sieve analysis are shown below. Plot the grain size distribution data using a computer on a semi-log plot (% finer on y-axis vs log of particle size in mm on the x-axis – you can download the plot from the lab 2 material). You can draw the curve through the points by hand. Show how you obtained the values you plotted. Sieve Number Mass of soil retained (g) 4 0 10 38 20 62 40 90 60 150 70 112 100 220 200 56 Pan 10
