The dead that was a live and the dead that never lived
This is the main difference between the black sand beaches and the brown ones. Much of the brown sand beaches are made up of dead organism that have been crushed by the ocean for thousands or millions of years. Mostly made of corals and shellfish. Of course this doesn't apply to all brown sand, the sand dunes of Libya for example are made up of granular rocks that are mostly made up of silica in the form of quartz. The black sand on the other hand is made up from volcanic rocks or ash and has therefore never been inside a living orgasm (except the Earth itself). Learn more with Season Tours
