Are grains of sands are weathered particles of rock?
Yes, grains of sand are primarily weathered particles of rock. They are formed through the processes of erosion and weathering, where larger rocks break down into smaller fragments due to natural forces such as wind, water, and temperature changes. Over time, these particles can be further shaped and sorted, resulting in the fine grains of sand commonly found on beaches and in deserts.

How is weathered rock move?
Weathered rock can be moved by processes such as erosion, gravity, wind, water, and ice. These processes can transport the smaller pieces of weathered rock, known as sediment, to different locations where they can accumulate and form new geological features like sedimentary deposits or landforms.
