Which consequence results when glacial till undergoes subsequent fluvial sorting?

💡 Explanation

Glacial till is unsorted sediment; fluvial sorting concentrates sediments into layers, because differences in grain size and density cause differential transport by water. The result is stratified drift deposits, rather than increased loess deposition resulting from wind action.
