Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Isn't sand just like, tiny crushed up rock? Why can't we just make more sand? I know with stuff like water the process of turning something that isn't water but contains water can be costly but i feel like we definitely should have machines by now that turn rock into sand

It's probably too expensive. It takes energy to make sand.
