Either it's still a river or it's a dried river. Plus, any river has probably not been around for more than 10,000 years.
Depends on what forces the rock is subjected to- wind, rain, river currents, pebbles tumbling over it, etc. It may take thousands of years- or 15 seconds in a crushing mill.
There are different kinds of sand which produce different kinds of glass when melted, but sand can certainly produce a green glass when melted by lightning.
Over time the rock weathers.
Sedimentary
Over time (millions of years) the sediments that later turn into limestone rise and are exposed as dry land. The carbons are finally returned to the atmosphere by weathering and soil erosion.
If put under tremendous pressure for millions of years - which is what happened to slate and sandstone.
If it died near a river, the bones might end up in the river by the water. The sand and waves will smooth out the dinosaurs' bones. In hundreds of years... The bones will turn into sand.
Millions and millions of years.

By being petrified over millions of years.
Sand. It takes thousands of years for a rock to turn into sand.
A miandering river, I would say, is one that bends or 'mianders'. A miander is a turn in a river where you sometimes find a small sand back, this is because as a part in the river turns, the water slows down and leaves behind rocks, pebbles, sand, dirt..etc that it was carrying.
after millions of years they turn in to fossils flues/ oil ,and gas

Yes sand can turn into glass
they don't turn rocks into sand
It could be industrial pollution. Or it could be that the river is cloudy with a mixture of yellow sand and silt washed down after heavy rains further up stream.
