Sand is finely divided and/ or crushed rock, so its appearance on the beach comes from crushed or naturally eroded rock in the ocean. Deserts are usually arid, windy areas where large rocks may be been before being eroded by natural elements into the sand present today.
The sand does blend and form uniform colors. However, most of the 'sand' in the Painted Desert is not loose but bound to form sandstone. The different colors of the sandstone are what give the Painted Desert its name.
A sand dune is a hill of sand that was built up by an obstacle such as a rock and had sand blowing over it in one direction for a period of time.
