after 1000's of years of contastanly being hit by waves, the rocks slowly break down, and sand is the result.
if you get a really powerful blender and put rocks in it and leave it for a while, it will break down into sand
Sedimentary rock is typically formed beneath the sea where layers of sediment such as sand, silt, and organic matter accumulate over time. As these sediments become compacted and cemented together, they form sedimentary rock.
Sand is a solid due to its molecular arrangement.
A quartz sand grain could combine with other rock particles to become sandstone which could then undergo metamorphism to become quartzite. Given enough time and weathering, it could simply become a part of a solution that reconstitutes elsewhere as part of a mineral crystal.
Sedimentary rock forms when small grains of rock, such as sand or clay, are compressed and cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rock include sandstone and shale.
When sand is subjected to high pressure and high temperature, it can transform into a type of metamorphic rock called quartzite. Quartz grains in the sand recrystallize and fuse together under these conditions, resulting in the formation of a hard, compact rock with a granular texture.
yep, and it might become rock again - sandstone.
Sedimentary rock e.g Sandstone
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.
Weathering like wind, water, or plants break down the rock turning it to sand!
Sandstone
There can be, but it is usually not intentional. For instance, rock, in the form of sand grains, can become entrained in iron castings. They would be called "inclusions".
Sand is composed of rock particles.
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.
Sandstone is the rock that results when sand liquefies.
Yes. Sand consists of tiny grains of rock. Rock is not alive.
