AI overview

Sand is a granular material composed of small particles of rock and minerals, such as quartz, volcanic minerals, garnet, and olivine, as well as biogenic materials like coral. It is found in diverse environments around the world—from deserts like the Gobi and Idehan Ubari in Libya to locations in Estonia, Hawaii, and the mainland United States—and forms distinctive features like dunes that shape landscapes and ecosystems.
