Sandboxes are places of play and experimentation, whether for a child building a sand structure or an inventor trying out an idea.[1]
Understanding Sand
[edit]According to NOAA, "Sand forms when rocks break down from weathering and eroding over thousands and even millions of years." [2]
Sand has long served humanity by providing raw materials for structures, sandbags, computer chips, and more.[3]
The tan color of most sand comes from a combination of iron oxide and feldspar.[4]
