White Sand

Coarse sand is a granular material that occurs naturally and the composition is basically the finely divided rocks and various other particles of minerals. One can define this particular sand by size and this is fine as compared to gravel but it is coarser as compared to the silt. One can define this sand depending on the textural class soil or the particular soil type. The soil particularly contains sand sized particles that exceed by eighty five percent. The composition of this particular sand has a variation and this depends on various sources of local rocks and various other conditions but the important constituent is silicon dioxide. Another important constituent is the calcium carbonate. As per the particle size, as provided by the geologists, the diameter can go up to 2 mm. The individual particle is called the sand grain. The most common constituent silicon dioxide generally in the quartz form is a mineral resistant for weathering. The bright white sand in this segment is found in the sub tropical and tropical coastal settings.
