What are three common sources of beach sand?
In temperate climates the sand on the beach comes from the rocks eroded form the shoreline by the waves. In tropical climates the sand is mainly composed of broken up shells from sea creatures (a coral sand beach).
What is the difference between poorly sorted and well sorted sediments?
A well sorted soil has particles which are all a similar size, a well graded soil would be classified as poorly graded. Whereas a poorly sorted soil has a wide range of particle sizes and is classified as well graded. On a particle size distribution a well sorted soil gives a steep gradient.
What sorts sediment and is likely to make it well sorted?
Sediment is usually sorted by depositional processes, most common are via water and wind. Well sorted sediments usually come from areas where energies only permit certain sediments to be transported. For example, in high energy mountain streams, the velocity of the water will easily pick up sand and clay particles, leaving the larger grains (gravel, boulders) to be deposited in the stream bed. This gives you a well sorted deposit, with large grain size. If you want an example of well sorting with small grain sizes, take a look at a lakebed. Here, there is not enough force for large particles to be transported, only enough force for small clay and sand particles to be moved. These particles propagate through the water and will eventually settle at the bottom of the lake thanks to gravity and water pressure.
Why is river sand tougher than beach sand?
The reason is that the river sand has usually eroded more recently, so has sharper edges. Beach sand is continually rolled and rounded by contact with the other particles, so that more of its particles are smooth. River sand also includes smaller particles (silt, clay) that make it more absorbent.

Where is black sand?
Black sand is sand that's been turned a black color either by a glossy partly-magnetic mix of sands (usually fine), or by tiny fragments of lava.Some gold and white beaches can also contain black sand, typically after storms have sorted out grains where heavier, darker particles remain on the surface.There are many black sand beaches around the world. Prince William Sound, in Alaska, and Lost Coast, California, both have black sand beaches named Black Sand Beach. Hawaii has Kehena Beach, Oneuli Beach, Polulu Valley Beach and Kaimu Beach. Maui hosts Oneuli Beach, Honokalani Black Sand Beach and Waianapanapa Black Sand Beach. Finally, Vik Beach in Iceland has some breathtakingly blue water surrounded by eroded rock formations beyond a beach of black sand.For more black sand beaches, try a Web or Image search on Google or your favorite search engine for black sand beach. You'll be stunned by some of the amazing photos.

What did quartzite used to be?
Quartzite used to be quartz sand, generally well sorted and quite pure. Quartz has a great propensity to crystallize, so sand grains will tend to bind together.
What kind of animals live in beach sand?
Animals such as sand crabs, clams, ghost crabs, and sand fleas can be found living in beach sand. These creatures are well adapted to burrow and survive in the sandy environment near the shoreline.
How to get rid of sand from the beach?
well you can't because it's part of the land and if you keep diging more sand will come.
How do poorly sorted and well sorted sediments differ?
the well sorted is on the left & the poorly sorted is on the right .. It all depends on the arrangement and size of the rocks
