In sand the particles are loose. So if you wish to go ahead you have to exert more force on the sand as the particles will sink in a little i.e you are compressing the sand a little and hence a bit of your force is lost there. Whereas in concrete the particles are tightly packed and barely gets compressed. Hence only the threshold force is required for you to move forward.

Why does snow reflect more light than sand?

Because of the atomic stucture the sand will absorb more energy than it refects.


Why sand is more dense than cotton?

Uh, maybe because Sand weights more than cotton?im guessing .


Does concrete weigh more than sand?

Yes, concrete typically weighs more than sand because it is a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates (such as sand and gravel). The density of concrete is greater than that of sand due to the combination of these materials.


Is sand heavier than silt?

Sand is generally heavier than silt because sand particles are larger and more dense than silt particles. The larger size and higher density of sand particles make them weigh more than silt particles.


Why is sand more dense than sugar?

Sand is more dense than sugar because sand particles are larger and heavier than sugar particles. This means that there are more mass in a given volume of sand, leading to a higher density compared to sugar.


Is there more sand than water in the world?

No.


Is it true that sand sinks in water because water is more dense than sand?

No. Sand sinks in water because sand is more dense than water, not the other way around.


Which has more mass a gallon of water or sand?

A gallon of water has more mass than a gallon of sand. This is because water is denser than sand, meaning it has more mass per unit volume.


Which is more resistant to weathering a rock or sand?
