what can a grain of sand tell you?

What can you tell from a grain of sand? well a lot of things. You can learn the width of the sand, by cubic yards. You can also learn how to find the compostion of the sand. compostion is what the sand is made of (rocks,minerals,biologicmaterials). What you can also find out from a grain of sand is its type of sorting. Very well sorted, well sorted, moderatly sorted, poorly sorted, and very poorly sorted. You can find these under the microscope and see if there closer to eachother or not. you can find form be closer together or not if its closer to a big ocean with a ton of waves or one without a lot of waves. you can also find the magnitude of the sand, meaning a pass through the sample. If grains cling to a magnet it is likey to be magnetite. Another thing you can find from the sand is it's size. Size can clarify what transported it and for how long it was transported. we also found the longer the sediment is abraded, the smaller it will become. Fast, high energywater carries larger particlesand slower. We also can find if the sands light or not because if the sand is carried away by the wind it's light. The second to last thing texture it can be round,angluar,well rounded,and subrounded. The last thing is the wentwroth scale, the most frequently used tool to measure sand.
