Sand

All the sand i examined throughout the week was from all different places in the world. Some sands looked like little crystals while others were just sand. We can discover a sediment's origin by studying its size, color, texture and rounding. These aspects all tell us something about where the sediment came from. Sorting also expends upon the distance the sediment has been transported. One of the beaches i chose was Marthas Vineyard, and the sand under the microscope was very glossy/white and large. It was also well sorted. Each particle was different. That shows that the waves, climate, and location are all aspects.
