Question

The colour of sand depends on ____.

• A. the colour of the rock it weathered from
• B. sea waves
• C. cold breeze
• D. sunlight

Answer 1

The correct option is A the colour of the rock it weathered from

The colour of the sand depends on the colour of the rocks they are formed from.

So, yellow sand is formed from rocks which were yellow in colour. In certain areas, the sand appears to be red in colour because the rock from which it was formed would have been rich in iron, which gives the rock it’s red colour.
