Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sorting is the process by which sediment grains are selected and separated according to grain size by agent of transportation. Grading refers to the change in the size of sediment grains over a distance, while distillation is a process of purifying a liquid by heating it until it vaporizes and then condensing the vapor back into a liquid. Selection and segregation are not specific processes in sedimentology.
