From Rocks to Sand: How Artificial Sand Is Made.

Real sand is formed as a result of natural processes. Stone fragments and minerals, which are usually formed by abrasion and erosion of rocks, are eroded under the influence of wind and water and become sand. Sand production is generally done in gravel, stone and sand quarries. After natural sand is extracted, it is processed and washed. Following these processes, the sand is filtered to separate it into different sizes.

The raw material of artificial sand is rock. But the difference here is that artificial sand is made by humans. Fragile rocks such as Granite Limestone bassal and other hard rocks are used as raw materials. In order to break these rocks, a full production line with the necessary heavy equipment such as excavators is needed. This sand is used to make it look more attractive and beautiful in places such as playgrounds and beaches.
