Let’s look back at the sedimentary rock we formed from all the grains of sand.
Let’s look back at the sedimentary rock we formed from all the grains of sand.
The rock has a smaller volume than the total volumes of the individual grains of sand because many of the surfaces have been fused together and the grains have been squished!

Remember-the mass of the sand and the fused rock are equal!
