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.
Is sand also called silica?
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).

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.
What is the angle of internal friction for sand?
34 degrees
How can the angle of internal friction of loose dry sand be estimated quickly?
The angle of internal friction of loose dry sand can be estimated quickly using the critical state friction angle for sand of similar composition. This value is typically around 30-35 degrees. Alternatively, the angle can also be estimated visually by comparing the angle at which a pile of sand naturally forms to known angle ranges for different materials.
