Have you tried looking on your own? There is much information on the web. Also, try looking in soil mechanics books. Don't base what you know only on what you can find for free on the internet. Take an introductory soil mechanics class at a local college.

If you do a search in this website you will come across threads that discuss this subject. Different classification systems have been discussed (USCS, AASHTO, etc) including the Burmeister classification system, a system folks who drill test borings are very familiar with. I posted a link to one.
