Which effect accelerates sediment sorting in alluvial fans?

💡 Explanation

Shear stress on sediment depends upon flow regime as described by Reynolds number; segregation increases because higher Reynolds numbers give greater local turbulent fluctuations and entrainment, eroding lower fractions, therefore increases sorting, rather than boundary effects.
