Sand residue in some rocks is primarily a result of sedimentary processes, where sand-sized particles accumulate and compact over time. These particles can originate from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks, which are then transported by wind, water, or ice before being deposited. Over geological time, layers of sand can become cemented together, forming sandstone or other sedimentary rock types that retain this sand residue. Additionally, volcanic activity or biological processes can contribute to the presence of sand-like materials in certain rock formations.

What kinds of rocks did the sand come from at Great Sand Dunes?
Sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.
What are examples os sediment?
Some examples of sediment are dirt, sand, and rocks.
What is sand also known as?
sand is obtain from the break down of rocks,when rocks are made,the activities of the rain,sun,heat,and human effort on it,makes it loose some of it's particles,which accumulated over the years to form sand,so sand can also be called ROCK
Are dunes only found in deserts?
Beaches and deserts are not examples of sand dune but they have examples of sand dunes.A sand dune is a hill of sand built by the wind or water flow.
