Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided rockand mineral particles. It is defined by size, being finer than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass.[1]
The composition of sand varies, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastalsettings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz. The second most common type of sand is calcium carbonate, for example, aragonite, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life, like coral and shellfish. For example, it is the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean.
Sand is a non-renewable resource over human timescales, and sand suitable for making concrete is in high demand.[2] Desert sand, although plentiful, is not suitable for concrete, and 50 billion tons of beach sand and fossil sand is needed each year for construction.

La biogénesis es el proceso fundamental de los seres vivos que producen otros seres vivos. Ejemplo: una araña pone huevos de los que saldrán más arañas. La biogénesis es aquel principio según el cual la vida solamente se origina de una vida preexistente (que ha existido antes).
Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of stored chemical energy
