Sand

Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of tiny mineral particles, primarily quartz and other rock fragments. It forms from the erosion and breaking down of larger rocks over time due to weathering processes like wind, water, and temperature changes. Sand is a fundamental component of soils, used in construction, manufacturing, and filtration. Its texture varies from coarse to fine, depending on the size of individual grains. Sand plays a vital role in shaping landscapes, supporting ecosystems, and serving various industrial and economic purposes worldwide.
