Hmm well not really anonther name as such. if the sand is particulary high in a minerla you could name it thus. In the case of a high silica sand i'd be inclined to call it a quartz sand.
Yes. Generally sand is mostly silica.
Sand is a general term for small rock particles and granules found on beaches and deserts, while silica sand specifically refers to a type of sand that contains a high concentration of silica. Silica sand is used in various industrial applications due to its high purity and hardness.
Sand is not exactly the same as silica. Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. Silica is a chemical compound that is commonly found in sand and is the main component of sand known as silicon dioxide (SiO2).
Silica sand is not a type of rock but rather a granular material composed of small grains of silica, which is a mineral. Silica sand is commonly found in the form of quartz in various geological formations such as sandstone and beaches.
Silica gel is made from silicon dioxide, which can be derived from sources like quartz or sand. Sand is a common source for producing silica gel because it is abundant and easily accessible.
The scientific name for sand is usually referred to as "silica" or "silicon dioxide."
Sand usually contains abundant silica, but it generally is not pure silica.
Another name for glass is silicon dioxide. Pyrex, a tempered, stronger form of glass used for baking ware and chemistry lab glassware is borosilicate.

silica or silica sand
You might mean either silica or quartz. Please see the link.
Clay minerals, calcite, and silica.
Yes! silica sand isn't harmful to fish because they breathe through their gills and it excludes most things that are similar to silica sand
No. SiO2 is the formula for silicon dioxide, also called silica. Silica is a major component of many minerals on earth. The mineral quartz is virtually pure silica. Sand varies in composition, but in most cases the dominant minerals are quartz and various types of feldspar, which are also rich in silica. So silica is the dominant component of most types of sand. However, it is common elsewhere as well, being a major part of many rocks and the main ingredient in most types of glass.
