ELI5: What is the difference between desert and ocean sand?
This is my first ELI. I am trying to follow the rules. I searched for ELIs on sand. I could not find an answer from the last 6 months. Also my internet skills are failing me.
My question in more details: Over the last couple years sand as a resource has become more expansive due to shortages. I am wondering whether transportation is the issue or if there is something that makes desert sand useless to the building and silicone industry.
