What is the word that means sand or particles settle out of wind or water and form layers?
The word you are looking for is "sedimentation." Sedimentation is the process by which sand or particles settle out of wind or water and form layers or deposits over time.
When sand is mixed with water what mixture will be formed?
When sand is mixed with water, a suspension will be formed. The sand particles will not dissolve in the water but will be suspended in it, leading to a cloudy mixture. Over time, the sand will settle at the bottom due to its higher density compared to water.
Why is the sand at the beach cooler to walk on than dry sand?
The sand is being cooled by the water as it washes over it, and then again as the sun evaporates the water away.

What type of wave is a sand wave?

Does water or sand cool faster after dark?
Sand cools faster after dark than water because sand has a lower specific heat capacity compared to water. This means that sand stores less heat energy and can release it more quickly than water when exposed to cooler temperatures.
Sand and water is an example of?
a heterogeneous mixture, as the components of sand and water do not mix evenly on a microscopic level and can be easily separated by physical means, such as filtering.
