Both sand and quartz have the elements silicon and oxygen. It is a crystalline structure. The crystalline structures of sand and quartz are slightly different.
quartz
Grinding quartz crystals down to produce sand is an example of physical change. When you grind quartz down to sand, you change the physical appearance of the quartz.
Quartz is everywhere. Every white grain of sand is quartz.
Most sand is made up mostly of pulverized quartz. Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth and is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2). When rocks containing quartz break down due to weathering and erosion, they form sand, which is primarily made up of small particles of pulverized quartz.
Quartz sand is good thermal conductor. Thus, is helps to cool the fuse link when a high current passes it. This cooling property is used to slow down the fuse action. It takes longer to reach the melting temperature, so the quatz sand-filled fuse is a slow action fuse.
Sand is SiO2 and that is also quartz. So you will find sand on the beach.

Most sand grains are of quartz.
Yes, quartz sand is a compound, because quartz is a compound.

No Quartz sand is available on beaches and deserts all around the world.
Quartz is everywhere. Every white grain of sand is quartz.
quartz is in solid form while sand in ppt
Simply put, Quartz is harder.
Most likely.
