Which outcome occurs along a stream bed when streamflow undergoes hydraulic sorting?

💡 Explanation

Sediments organize by grain size because hydraulic sorting distributes particles based on their settling velocities; larger, denser particles settle first, therefore concentrating together, rather than distributing homogeneously or shifting the stream’s course.
