The sand in the Sahara is wind blown, and therefore is very round and smooth like river pebbles. The sand in Australia has been recently washed up from the sea, and has likely come out of the butt of a parrotfish within the past century. It is made of tiny bits of coral, and therfor is like jacks. When you put weight on sahara sand it comes out from under your foundations like ball bearings, but the Australian sand simply becomes more compact

We have an expression that a good salesman can sell ice to an Eskimo. But selling sand to someone that lives in the Sahara is even more impressive...

oh snap thats actually pretty cool =D
i know this is probably a really stupid question but.... is there any way that lifeless minerals can propagate or influence the environment of foreign lands in any way ((however slight or however many eons it may take)), like how the pilgrims brought all that disease to the 'indians' or how the cane toad spread like wildfire in australia?
i wonder how it would effect things... its an obscure but pretty interesting thought to me lol.
ps, is that sahara? hes so pretty XD

*old fashioned salesman voice* This is the deal of the century! Not everywhere can you get sand, but a bag cost $100! That’s almost robbery! No other deal like it! Hurry and get it before it is gone!
