Sand: Encyclopedia - Coral sand

Coral sand is sand of particles originating in tropical and sub-tropical marine environments from bioerosion of limestone skeletal material of marine organisms. One example of this process is that of parrot fishes which bite off pieces of coral, digest the living tissue, and excrete the inorganic component as silt and sand. However, the term "coral" in coral sand is used loosely in this sense to mean limestone of recent biological origin; corals are not the dominant contributors of sand particles to most such deposits. Rather, ...

Sand: Encyclopedia - Athabasca Oil Sands

The Athabasca Oil Sands (or "Tar Sands") is a large deposit of tar sands in north-western Canada located mainly in the province of Alberta and, to a much lesser degree Saskatchewan.

Sand: Encyclopedia - White Sands National Monument

The White Sands National Monument is a U.S. National Monument located about 25km (15 miles) southwest of Alamogordo in the state of New Mexico. The area is in the mountain-ringed Tularosa Basin valley area and comprises the southern part of a 710km² (275-square mile) field of white sand dunes composed of gypsum crystals.

Sand: Encyclopedia II - Sand casting - Cores

To produce cavities within the casting—such as for liquid cooling in engine blocks and cylinder heads—negative forms are used to produce cores. Usually sand-molded, cores are inserted into the casting box after removal of the pattern. Whenever possible, designs are made that avoid the use of cores, due to the additional set-up time and thus greater cost. With a completed mold at the appropriate moisture content, the box containing the sand mold is then positioned for filling with molten metal—typically iron, steel, bronze ...

Since the ethnic Bosniaks form majority only in five eastern municipalities of Sandžak, and since Serb and Montenegrin population from this ethnically mixed region opposing to this idea, it is not likely that eventual autonomous Sandžak would include municipalities with ...
