How did sand get on beaches?

Geography
2 answers:
erastova [34]3 years ago

Answer:

Most beaches get their sand from rocks on land. Over time, rain, ice, wind, heat, cold, and even plants and animals break rock into smaller pieces. This weathering may begin with large boulders that break into smaller rocks. Water running through cracks erodes the rock.

There are several different ways. Usually, rocks and other minerals are broken up and worn down into tiny particles. Sometimes, fish poop also contributes to the formation of sand. Sediment can also be carried via glaciers, wind, etc. picking up sediment and dropping it onto beaches before melting and forming bodies of water. Water/waves also could have rubbed particles off of rocky formations and weathered them into tiny little particles.
