	After viewing the PowerPoint on sands, what, geologically, is sand?
	Answers: A group of particles transported to a depositional environment and displays characteristics of its origin as well as the environment in which it was deposited.     It is an accumulation of sediments that happens to be between 1/16th of a mm and 2 mm in size.   Sand can be anything as long as it is derived naturally.   It is a mass of particles produced by erosional processes and typically dominated by quartz grains.
