How is sand similar to granite fragments?

Sand is in fact made up of small fragments of rock material broken up by different forces of nature, such as the waves and the wind. The components of sand depend on the conditions in the area, but can be Silica (Quartz), limestone, gypsum, and/or Arkose. Arkose contains some granite material.
