No - however sand is able to store energy, in particular solar energy as the sun heats the sand and the sand collects the energy. It may be possible, in future, to try to collect the energy from the sand, but at the moment, this technology is unavailable.
yes
There's no such thing as a sand-lion. If that's true google sand lion...
Friction.
Sand absorbs solar energy and gets hot, contributing to the heating of surfaces like beaches and deserts. Air, on the other hand, traps solar energy and helps to retain heat in the atmosphere, leading to the overall warming of the Earth's climate.
yes cuz sand isn't alive...
No. A sand dollar is another living thing that is not plankton.
Yes. Sand consists of tiny grains of rock. Rock is not alive.
The energy from the Sun adds energy to the molecules of the outermost layer of sand, which radiates infrared energy and also conducts thermal energy down into the sand.
Sand is usually made of small particles of rock which were never alive or part of a living thing, although it is also possible to make sand out of sea shells, which are part of a living thing although they are not actually alive. Shells are a secretion of living things. No, sand was and never will be a living thing in my opinion. Maybe in evolution it was, but science is or equals observation. Since it has not been observed, it is not science. That is why evolution is still a theory.
No, bacteria do not "eat" sand. Bacteria break down organic matter for energy and do not have the ability to digest inorganic materials like sand. Sand is a physical material that cannot be metabolized by bacteria for nutrition.
Sand
the same thing as your head
