Why is there such variety in sand particles?

The variety in sand particles comes from the different types of rocks and minerals that make up the earth's crust. As these rocks erode over time due to weathering and erosion, they break down into smaller particles that eventually become sand. Factors like the composition of the parent rock, the type of erosion, and the location of the sand deposit all contribute to the diversity of sand particles.
