Difference between Sand and Shoal

Sand vs. Shoal

Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. In oceanography, geomorphology, and earth sciences, a shoal is a natural submerged ridge, bank, or bar that consists of, or is covered by, sand or other unconsolidated material, and rises from the bed of a body of water to near the surface.

Similarities between Sand and Shoal

Sand and Shoal have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Beach, Coast, Dredging, Erosion, Grain size, Gravel, Silt, Soil.

Erosion

In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement).
