after 1000's of years of contastanly being hit by waves, the rocks slowly break down, and sand is the result.
if you get a really powerful blender and put rocks in it and leave it for a while, it will break down into sand
it doesnt
Well, it can become the metamorphic rock gneiss, or it can be weathered into clay and sand.
yep, and it might become rock again - sandstone.
Sedimentary rock e.g Sandstone
sand becomes sandstone and mud becomes shale
Weathering like wind, water, or plants break down the rock turning it to sand!
Sand is composed of small loose particles of eroded rock of any type, but commonly it is particles of quartz from igneous or metamorphic rock. Each sand grain is actually a rock unto itself. Only when the sand grains are cemented together through a process known as lithification, do the sand grains become part of a new sedimentary rock.
when rocks turn into sediments by the climate and weathering, the sediments compact together with sand. Then it is a sedimentary rock.
usually sand/mud traps something, then hardens to become a rock.
sand is a metamorphic rock
igneous rock and it became sand
