The composition of sand varies, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non- tropical coastal settings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO 2), usually in the form of quartz.
Sand, mineral, rock, or soil particles that range in diameter from 0.02 to 2 mm (0.0008–0.08 inch). Most of the rock-forming minerals that occur on the Earth’s surface are found in sand, but only a limited number are common in this form.
The meaning of SAND is a loose granular material that results from the disintegration of rocks, consists of particles smaller than gravel but coarser than silt, and is used in mortar, glass, abrasives, and foundry molds.
Sand is a specific size of loose grains of minerals, rocks, and organic remains. "Sand" forms in different ways. The vast amount of sand forms when pre-existing rocks break down by weathering and erosion. The breakdown produces two products: mineral grains and rock (lithic) fragments.
Sand comes from many locations, sources, and environments. Sand forms when rocks break down from weathering and eroding over thousands and even millions of years. Rocks take time to decompose, especially quartz (silica) and feldspar.
