Iâve come across a historical footnote on the English language and I thought everyone would get a kick out of it. Up until about 2 hundred years ago, there was a 27th letter in the English language. This letter is still in common use today and I would bet that you have used it recently. But this letter is no longer considered a letter; it is now regarded either an abbreviation or punctuation. Iâm talking about the (&) ampersand.
Gneiss is a medium to coarse-grained, irregularly banded rock with only poorly developed cleavage. The light and dark bands (gneissic banding) are alternations of felsic vs. mafic layers. Slate is a product of low grade metamorphism (not terribly great burial temperatures and pressures are required).
Round. Sand is defined by its size rather than what type of mineral it is. Particle size or grain size refers to the diameter of a grain of granular material. Technically, particles that fall between one-sixteenth of a millimeter to two millimeters in diameter are referred to as Sand.and is a common ingredient in many arena surfaces and ranges from very fine sand .075mm to very coarse 2.00 mm. Sand alone may be used but it is often combined with other particle sizes and other materials. Adding the proper depth of sand is a key factor. Too deep of sand can cause stress and injuries.
