PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast

Our Past Favorites #2 - Only The Strong Survive, The Geology of Sand


Listen Later

In this episode of Planet Geo, we dive back into one of our all-time favorite topics: the geology of sand! Join us as we explore why sand is not just beach filler but a critical resource with huge societal relevance. We discuss how different types of sand form from various rock sources and their unique geological stories. From the importance of river sand in construction to the fascinating characteristics of volcanic and biogenic sands, we cover it all while reflecting on why sand grains are as educational as they are small. You're going to see sand in a whole new way!
