Describe how a reduction in energy may lead to sediment sorting. (6) - Sorting is the process by which the standard deviation of clast size within a sediment becomes reduced. - High energy environments (e.g. shallow marine) are able to transport a large range of sediment sizes by traction, saltation, and suspension. - When energy is reduced larger particles are deposited, but finer material continues to be transported, therefore continuing the sorting process. - Sorting may occur by LSD, on ...
