Vertical selection This is a phenomenon of particle sorting caused by multiple freeze-thaw processes. Fine particles move downward whereas larger particles are transported to the surface. The process is correlated to th e moisture content of the ground. The particle selection decreases with decreasing moisture content. When the cryogenic process determines a horizontal particle differentiation then this is called a Horizontal Selection. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
