Depositsand is a term describing accumulations of sand grains within sedimentary environments. It forms when sand-sized particles are transported by wind, water, or ice and come to rest when the transporting medium loses energy or is blocked. Common settings include beaches, dunes, river channels and floodplains, deltas, and offshore shelves. Marine and aeolian processes can produce well-sorted, rounded sands, while gravity-driven or braided deposits may exhibit a wider range of grain sizes.
Composition and properties: Most sands are composed primarily of quartz, with varying amounts of feldspar, rock
Formation and evolution: Sand deposits form through aeolian, fluvial, deltaic, and shore processes. Diagenesis can cement
Economic and environmental considerations: Sand is widely used in construction, glassmaking, and various industrial applications. Excavation
