What is the difference between poorly sorted and well sorted sediments?
A well sorted soil has particles which are all a similar size, a well graded soil would be classified as poorly graded. Whereas a poorly sorted soil has a wide range of particle sizes and is classified as well graded. On a particle size distribution a well sorted soil gives a steep gradient.
Is beach sand well sorted?
Yes

What is the brief summary of the section sorting in the Earth space science book?
sorting is the tendency for currents of air or water to separate sediments according to size. sediments that can be sorted is sorted very poorly or somewhat between good and bad sorting. all the grains are rough in the well sorted sediments from the same sized and shape. many different size and shape sediments are sorted in the very poorly sediments category. the sorting of a result of change in the in speed of that agent that is moving the sediments.
What and where are the biggest sand dunes in the world?
There are three contenders for the title of the world's highest sand dune, and it depends upon the context - whether one means the highest in actual sand dune size, or the highest above sea level.According to some sources, the world's highest sand dune is the Cerro Blanco dune in the Sechura Desert, Nazca, Peru. However, according to the Namibian Ministry of Environment & Tourism, the highest dune in the world is called Big Daddy, or Dune 7, and is one of the Sossusvlei dunes in the Namib Desert. However, according to the website link below (Duneguide), the highest sand dune may well be the humble Mt Tempest on Moreton Island, just off the coast of southern Queensland, Australia. The second largest sand mass in the world, Mt Tempest reaches 280m above sea level, and it is all sand.
