Any beach, any land, seems to always have the same basic size grains +/- a little. Where does the super small stuff go? It must be somewhere. There seems to be a lack of this super fine dust -- does it end up at the bottom of the oceans? After hundreds of years, whouldn`t millions of waves grind the sand on a beach to dust? And where are all the large sand grains, before they get smaller? I just think sand is weird!
Re: Why are the grains of sand so uniform in size?
