Geology of Silica Sand Deposits found in UAE, Spain, and Egypt
The Origin of Silica Sand. Silica sand, primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), originates from the gradual transformation of rock formations rich in quartz—a mineral commonly found within continental and marine environments. The geological journey of silica sand begins with the weathering and erosion of these quartz-rich rocks.

Where Does Sand Come From?-American Oceans
Marine Sources. Marine sources of sand include the erosion of coastal cliffs, the breakdown of seashells, and the accumulation of coral fragments. Waves and tides can transport this sediment to form beaches and sandbars. The ocean is a vast source of sand, with billions of tons of sediment being moved each year.
