Quicksand

Quicksand differs from beach and
other sand in that the Individual
grains have become Wort by water
or wind until the normal facets and
angles have been abraded and each
grain has become more or less spher-
ical. The coefticient Of friction is thus
reduced to the minimum and the bed
does not pack when dry and when wet
behaves like a fluid. The depth Of
quicksand is conditioned by the depth
of the %hardpap o. other compact ma
teflal upon which the sand rests.
