Rand N. said...

It might be composed of quartz, dirt, and volcanic ash.

Rhiannon J said...

It could be made of eroded rock from the middle of the ocean, glass from bottles, dirt from hills on the water edge.

i think rock,shells,crystal,and wood and they all come from the ocean after they break apart.

Jasmine M. said...

crushed up sea shells and rocks, grasses, rocks, salt water, under-water sea animals.

I think there is rock,sand,shells,water,wood,and dune grass.I think the ocean washes them up to the beach(except for the dune grass...that would be weird).

Nicole c. said...

Limestone,Dirt,Rock,Stone,Granite,and maybe be composed of volcanic ash Quartz, Dirt and maybe some of them came from eroded beaches.

Sarah L said...

It could be made from broken down rocks and some grasses

Nate B. said...

Theres sand and different minerals

kaylee m. said...

It could might be composed by rocks, dirt, or tiny shells and they get there by being washed from the ocean

emile w said...

Beach sediments could be are small rock that are broken down trash and decomposed plants

Rocks: They come from eroded mountains.
Sand: It comes from eroded rocks.
Wood: It comes from destroyed trees.

Dominique F said...

Broken shells, rocks , dirt, grasses, and it could come from the bottom of the ocean.

Alexis F. said...

I think sand, rock, and water. The waves makes it go on to the beach.

The sand comes from the rocks that come from the water sand also might come from shells and rocks on land.

The beach would be made rocks and shells. Rock such as quartz, granite,and others.
2. The shells come from the crustaceans of the ocean and the others come the the ocean.

Sand is made up of fine particles of rock and minerals. The most common type is largely composed of silica (silicon dioxide), usually in the form of quartz. Sand found in tropical locations are usually composed of limestone.

Maddie C said...

crystals,rocks shells, glass, some from bottom of ocean or from the people that go on the beach and just the beach itself.

I think it could be made of dirt, shells, rocks, rotted wood,sea weed, dead animals, and clay. They could come from the ocean or made of dirt carried from the side of the rode.

Sabrina D:) said...

Sand, Rocks, Shells

Lucas T said...

I think that a beach is made up of thinly cut up rocks

Holly J said...

Eroded rock. Dirt. Sand. I think they came from the ocean.

matt c said...

eroded rock pebbles mica quartz it could of been brought in by the water or eroded by it too

Grace B said...

minerals, clay, shells, limestone, sand

Archer t said...

Rocks of the seafloor, kelp, shells, and sediment possibly from nearby estuaries carried here by the longshore current.

Jar3d C :P said...

Silt, pebbles, rocks, etc

Mason B said...

It's possible that beach sand is made up of mostly minerals, glass, and crushed seashells that all may have come from the ocean.

Aaron R said...

these materials compose of sand and silt. they come from eroded rock and maybe clay.

Nick M. said...

Sand is made of various rocks and minerals that are near water. Granite and limestone for example. It gets eroded from the ocean or whatever body of water it is, and eventually, turns into sand.

Sarah M said...

I think a beach is made up of rock particles, sand, sea shells, and minerals. They might be washed up by the ocean or come from decomposed rock.

Liz N. :) said...

Some things that might be in sand are seashells, i think , because they can be weathered down and when the tide comes in, and then goes out, the seashells stay down, if you look down you can see the seashells, also rocks...... obviosley, different kinds of rocks of course.

Kasey G. said...

Sand on the beach is usually made up of quartz, shells, corals, and other various rocks and minerals.

Ian C. said...

Some materials that the sand on the beach might be composed of are perhaps ground up seashells, another thing might be soft rocks ground together to create more sand.The seashells could have come from snails, muscles or clams, the rocks came from the rocks that were there a long time ago.

HOLLY SAND CANNOT BE MADE UP OF ITSELF OK......

Isaiahp said...

Shells, Rocks on the seafloor from Mountains and estuaries.

Will P said...

Rocks
Shells
Glass
Dead animals

Spencer P. Shields said...

glass, rock, different types of rock that are broken down, shells, bones.

Holly Dolphin Girl said...

Are you sure because I think it can. So WHAT NOW!!!!!!!

Sara H said...

Sand is made up of rocks and minerals mashed up into pebbles and gravel.
Different types of rocks can make up sand like quartz. If sand is found in tropical areas, it can be made up of limestone. Sand can also have smashed shell in it from the ocean.
A beach could also be made of rocks.

Ronahn said...

A beach might be composed of various types of broken shells, granite, sand, clay, and silt. Glass from broken bottles can wash up on shore. The ocean's currents might have carried most of the material there.

LIZ THE DOLPHIN GIRL said...

Oh really, than why can't a defanition have the word tha you are defining in the definition....... because things can't be made up of themselves Holly, they are themselves so they cannot be made up of themselves. HOOOLLLLLYYYYY!!!!!

Tanner M said...

Sand is made up of granite, limestone and other rocks and minerals. These materials flow up on shore.

Holly Dolphin Girl said...

If they are themselves then they are made up of themselves. Obviously.

Gracie N(: said...

Some materials that beach sand might be composed of are Sea Shells, Rocks,and Minerals.
Sea Shells could of come from clams, the rocks came from bigger rocks that were there a long time ago.
