Sand Reflection

This week we examined eight different sediments each from different places in the world. A lot of the sediments had many similar characteristics like look, shape, composition, etc. The Maui sand was one of the three sediments that were actually a magnetite. The other to that were magnetite sediments were the sand from Desert Island, and Plum Island. Two sediments that are a lot alike was the sand from Maui and Desert Island. They are both around the same size,color, magnetite, texture, and composition. Both the sediments traveled a far distance considering Maui is in Hawaii, and Desert Island is in Luisiana.
