Rocks and sand particles on beaches become rounded rapidly because ________.
◦ beach sand is mostly calcium carbonate from reefs and so gets rounded easily
◦ rip currents move the sand offshore rapidly, abrading the fragments
◦ waves roll loose material up and down the beach, abrading it to produce rounded grains
◦ There is nothing particularly prominent in beaches that produces more rounding than other sedimentary processes.
