The Power of an ocean wave constantly changes the geomorphology of our coastlines When you think of a beach you think of sand.
Silicate sand is the yellow sand that is found in low to mid latitudes.
The weathering of rocks may take place hundreds to thousands of miles away. The sediments produced by physical and chemical weathering are transported by rivers to the ocean. There the sand is deposited on the beaches. Silts and muds are transported to the open ocean and deposited off the coast. That is why most beaches have such great sorting.
