What will happen to sand if a rock is in the sand?
The effect will likely be on the rock. Sand is rock that has already been powdered by erosion. What will happen is that the sand, if it is hard enough, will erode the rock surface, which typically polishes it until it is smooth.
Why does sand settle faster than rock?
Sand settles faster than rock because sand particles are smaller and lighter compared to rock particles. This allows gravity to exert a greater influence on sand particles, pulling them down to the bottom of a container or body of water more quickly. Rocks, being larger and heavier, have more inertia and are less affected by gravitational forces, which results in a slower settling rate.
What do waves make when they break rock into tiny pieces?

Is sand a sedimentary rock or is lots of sand joined together a sedimentary rock?
Sand is composed of small loose particles of eroded rock of any type, but commonly it is particles of quartz from igneous or metamorphic rock. Each sand grain is actually a rock unto itself. Only when the sand grains are cemented together through a process known as lithification, do the sand grains become part of a new sedimentary rock.
Is it true that sand comes from rock in the desert?
Yes, sand is simply particles of weathered rock.
How waves can turn rock into sand?
Waves can turn rock into sand through a process called abrasion. As waves crash onto the rock, they carry sediment and other abrasive materials that gradually wear away the surface of the rock, breaking it down into smaller particles. Over time, this constant pounding and grinding action results in the creation of sand from the original rock material.
