What is the size of sand rock particles?

How much air and water does it hold?

1 answer

The size of sand rock particles can vary, but typically it falls within the range of 0.0625 to 2 millimeters in diameter.

The amount of air and water that sand can hold depends on its porosity, which is directly related to its particle size and arrangement. Generally, sand has a relatively high porosity, which allows it to hold a significant amount of both air and water. The exact amount of air and water that sand can hold would depend on factors such as the grain size, shape, and compaction of the sand particles, as well as the presence of any organic matter or cementation.
