Local Sand Trivia

Översättning på gång, så länge den engelska: Even desert nations imports sand. UAE lots of it. Winds round off corners of sand grains to shape all desert grains round. In the same way that it’s harder to stack marbles compared to blocks, round sand grains don’t lock together as angular sand does. For almost all type of construction desert sand is substandard leading to sand deficiency despite Earth’s great amounts of desert sands. Most buildings, man-made islands as well as horse race tracks in UAE are built with imported sand.
