Why is it difficult to walk on sand if you are wearing pointed heels as compared to flat shoes?
Because flat shoes have a much wider base than pointed heels so they spread your weight out more, to you walk more on top of the sand, like snowshoes. Whereas pointed heels have a very narrow base that causes you to sink into the sand a bit more, making it a little like walking in quicksand.
Why is quick sand deeper than regular sand?
Quicksand is a mixture of sand, water, and clay that forms a substance with a lower viscosity than regular sand, causing objects or people to sink deeper in it. The increased water content in quicksand reduces the friction between sand particles, making it easier to sink in.
Would it take more wave energy to deposit the sand or the rocks on the beach?
It would typically take more wave energy to deposit rocks on the beach compared to sand. Rocks are larger and heavier than sand particles, so they require more energy to transport and deposit onto the beach. Sand is finer and lighter, making it easier for waves to move and deposit along the shore.
Would you make them protrude from the surface or recess them into the surface on sand casting?

How does lying flat out stop you sinking into quicksand?
Lying flat distributes your body weight over a larger surface area, reducing the pressure on the quicksand and making it harder for you to sink. It also creates more resistance against sinking as opposed to standing upright. This position can make it easier for you to move and potentially get out of the quicksand.
Why it is easier to walk on soft sand if we have flat shoes rather than shoes with pencil hill?
