DetailsThe Wahiba sand sea covers some 12 500 square kilometres and contains a great variety of dune forms. There is evidence of at least three major periods of dune-building.
DetailsIn black sand beaches in the Philippines, a type of valuable iron ore called magnetite abounds. However, black sand mining often takes place illegally, which increases the risks and magnitude of threats, such as gradual or sudden land subsidence which as a result of erosion, exposes the coastal communities to rising sea levels and …
DetailsThe brilliant hues are a result of oxidation of the sand's high iron concentrations. The older the dune, the more intense its color. Ninety to 95 percent of the sand in the area is silica. In some places, feldspar, magnetite and ilmenite create black stripes against the orange. In others, garnet splashes maroon into the glowing dune slopes.
