← GeographyWhich outcome results when hydraulic sorting affects littoral drift composition?
A)Selective mineral concentration on beaches✓
B)Depleted offshore sediment reservoirs form
C)Increased substrate heterogeneity in estuaries
D)Stabilized dune formation due to uniform grains
💡 Explanation
Hydraulic sorting separates sediment by density; therefore, minerals concentrate because high-density minerals deposit where wave energy dissipates, enriching beach composition, rather than other widespread effects of sediments which are not locally concentrated.
