Understanding Sand

[edit]

According to NOAA, "Sand forms when rocks break down from weathering and eroding over thousands and even millions of years." [2]

Sand has long served humanity by providing raw materials for structures, sandbags, computer chips, and more.[3]

The tan color of most sand comes from a combination of iron oxide and feldspar.[4]
