How sand from different locations look like under a microscope. [📹 Chloé Savard / tardibabe]

Material in the nail bed under a microscope 😂😂😂😎

Under a microscope, sand appears as a collection of small, irregularly shaped grains with varying colors and textures. The size and shape of the grains depend on the type of sand and the location where it was collected. Some sand grains may be smooth and rounded, while others may be jagged and angular. These images are amazing 💯

Water from waves or rain transforms rock particles over time by dissolving soluble substances within them. As these soluble substances dissolve, the rock particles become more rounded and smoothed. Beaches with high wave action tend to have sand grains that are more rounded compared to beaches with low wave action. This is because the constant turbulent motion from crashing waves accelerates the erosion process. The higher energy environment causes more collisions between sand grains, wearing down their angular features at a faster rate. Beaches protected from strong waves maintain more angular sand particles since they undergo less frequent high-energy collisions. However, the dissolving and smoothing effects of water, especially when accelerated by wave action, transforms large, jagged rock particles into small, rounded sand grains. More exposure to turbulent waters leads to more rounded sand grains.

The thing that looks the same with naked eye how it looks different under microscope

Basically the same as big rocks just teeny

@OriginalGoldCat - better to think about

Zoom in on the sand grain and it looks really beautiful. @MrCong78466

good information 👍

Lol interesting

Wow
