A grain of sand history

In class we are leaning about sand so these articles are taking what we learned and talking about one particular place where it is from. I am enjoying the articles and how the sand form Hawaii is different from the beaches around us or the ones we go to, The sand comes from tiny grains of rocks and the color. The beaches are made from pebbles and rocks. The beach waves deposits the sand and the gravel along the shore line. They become worn smooth from being rolled around all the time. They get rolled from the waves moving up and down.  The coastal processes modify the sand overtime. Sometimes little sand gets onto the middle of the beach but that happened a long time ago. The erosions of beaches happen more often after major storms and make it replenishment to look at it that way. People like to look at how the beach looks like when they go.  Hawaii beaches are the best beaches in the world because of the sand. The sand is white and beautiful. The teeth in their throats help break down to be able to be in the sand. The sand factories are producing 840 pounds per year. There is hundreds of tons of fish in the sand per year.  The beaches that we look at in the microscope are different colors and form different places. To me this is awesome to look at different places through the microscope to just look at the sand. Over all, the beaches sands that we look at are from different places, colors, and the shapes of each sand is through the microscope. I really enjoyed these articles because I learned a lot from them that I didn't know. I also enjoyed looking through the microscope to look at the sand to see what they looked like.
