The cause for the sand grains to be round is the hydraulic fracturing process. The sand grains to round usually range between 2 mm up to about 64 mm.

Can a person be allergic to sand?

No. Sand is an inert object and therefore does not cause any type of allergic response from the body's system. A perceived allergy to sand could simply be due to the rubbing of sand on the skin, or irration due to inhalation or contact with particles within the sand. All sand is the same, with the only difference being the sediment mixed between sand particles, so these could also cause a reaction, but is not an allergy, and is not due to the sand itself.

in oolitic sand grains along tropical water shoreline mostly with extreme condition of salinity and temperature


Why doesn't a seed grow in sand?

Plants can grow in sandy soil but there are a few factors that can make it more difficult. Sand particles are large and leave large pore spaces in between the sand grains. If the sand is too loose it will be very difficult for the plant roots to hold in place. That is why you rarely see vegetation on the extremely loose sands of the beach. Another reason sandy soil impedes plant growth is because of the rate of water infiltration and available water capacity. Basically what this means is that the pore spaces in between sand grains are so large that rainwater and other water runoff simply drains straight through the sand deep into the ground and is beyond the reach of the roots. As we all know, plants must have water to survive. A third reason that plants have a hard time growing in sandy soil is due to the reactivity of large sand grains. Plants get their nutrients from the soil and sand grains do not have the ability, for reasons I will not get into, to hold those nutrients in place.


What the function of the pollen grains?

Matured pollen grains contained sperm cells. When Pollen grains are sticky, you have pollen. Pollen grains are contained in the pollen sac, with the purpose of helping plants reproduce.


What are grains that produce sperm cells called?

Microspore mother cell after undergoing meiosis produces pollen grains, and the pollen grains during germination produce sperms by undergoing pollen mitosis.
