Why are sediments carried by wind deposited in a sorted manner? ( that is the largest particles at the bottom and the smallest particles on top)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger sediment particles are having more weright(mass), hence fall quickly (early) and smaller particles with low mass are carried by wind for longer time and falls slowly , hence you observe sorted kind of things. Hope this helps you to understadn this phenomenon.
