BEACH ARE FAKE

Some beaches are entirely or partially artificial, a result of either man-made engineering or natural processes that scientists have enhanced. For example, many beaches, like Santa Monica and Miami Beach, are created by moving and pumping sand to restore them or change their shape and size. Other "fake" beaches are completely artificial urban spaces, like the one at the New Century Global Center in China, which is indoors and uses artificial sunlight.
Quartz is used to make sand primarily through two natural processes: weathering and crushing. Naturally, the durable quartz mineral is left behind as weaker minerals erode, forming sand over time. Man-made processes, such as crushing large rocks of quartzite, can also produce high-purity quartz sand for industrial use.
Artificial silica quartz, also known as engineered quartz, is a synthetic composite material made primarily from natural quartz powder (over 90%) mixed with polyester resin, colorants, and additives. This mixture is pressed into slabs under high pressure, then ground and polished to create a durable, non-porous surface used for countertops and other building materials. While it has many desirable properties, it can also contain a high level of crystalline silica, which can cause a serious lung disease called silicosis in workers who cut or machine it.
