answer
Our beach sand started as part of a distant mountain weathered by wind and water. These small pieces were carried away by the wind or water and deposited elsewhere.
This process of erosion and deposition may have been repeated numerous times before a grain of sand comes to rest on our beach. This erosion and depositional process may also carry the sand away from our beach for further journeys.
