Why does one beach have purple sand and another beach have pink sand?

Chemistry

Gnesinka [82]3 years ago

Ok so I’m going to break it up so it’s a bit easier to read through:

The colours are from the different rocks and minerals that make up the sand.

The little fragments of rock come from for example surrounding mountains.

It could also because sand is simply the product from erosion of the rocks rubbing each other under the action of the waves.

So if the bottom of the ocean is made of black lava for example in Hawaii, there’s a good chance of the sand being black.

In California, the sand usually looks white because it has minerals like quartz and pieces of shell that are made of calcium carbonate.

Hope this helps :)

Briefly describe four ways that a beam can be strengthened?​
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

1. Changing Beam Material

2. Corrugation

3. Changing Beam form

4. Steel Reinforcing Bars

Explanation:

Changing Beam Material

Some materials are stronger when used in beams than others. Beams made of steel for instance are stronger than beams made of wood. Therefore changing material can improve the strength of the beam. It is quite important to take into account the weights of the material though as different structures have different requirements.

Corrugation.

You can fold the beam into triangular shapes to increase strength. If you look at roofs you will notice that they are folded and this increased their strength. The same logic can be applied to beams.

Changing Beam Form

Another way to make Beams stronger is to change their form or rather their shape. Straight beams are not as strong as I-beams for instance. I-beams look like the capital letter I with the lines at both ends. I-beams are usually used in construction which shows that they are quite strong.

Steel Reinforcing Bars

When placed in concrete beams, Steel Reinforcing Bars which are also called Rebar can help strengthen a beam by helping it withstand the forces of tension. A concrete beam with Rebar inside it is known as Reinforced Concrete.
