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.

Answer:
C
Explanation:
A toboggan is a simple sled traditionally used by children. It is well adapted to sliding down open slopes, where its large surface rides easily on loose, fluffy snow.
Prokaryotic cells also have loose/free/a ring of DNA (not confined to a nucleus) and they can also sometimes have a capsule (slimy outer layer). Also they have slightly smaller ribosomes- 70s instead of 80s.
In Science, a electron in an atom is always negative. The more electrons you have, the more negative a atom is. The more protons (Positives) you have, the more positive a atom is. To balance an atom out, have the same amount of Electrons and Protons.
A mass movement that involves the sudden movement of a block of material along a flat, inclined surface is called a SLIDE.
