    When in operation, the quarry mined silica sand from the St. Peter Sandstone formation, and the bright, white sand can be seen around the lake today. The park has many different habitats for wildlife such as the large pond, riparian forest, emergent wetland, and grassland. Different animals and life forms call Klondike Park their home.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_and_White_Terraces

    The Pink and White Terraces were formed by upwelling geothermal springs containing a cocktail of silica-saturated, near-neutral pH chloride water. [4] [2] These two world-famous springs were part of a group of hot springs and geysers, chiefly along an easterly ridge named Pinnacle Ridge (or the Steaming Ranges by Mundy). [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandblasting

    Silica sand can be used as a type of mineral abrasive. It tends to break up quickly, creating large quantities of dust, exposing the operator to the potential development of silicosis, a debilitating lung disease. To counter this hazard, silica sand for blasting is often coated with resins to control the dust.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand

    Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided mineral particles. Sand has various compositions but is defined by its grain size. Sand grains are smaller than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass. [2]

  9. Rapid sand filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_sand_filter

    Rapid sand filters use relatively coarse sand (0.5 to 1.0 mm) and other granular media, such as anthracite, in beds of 0.6 to 1.2 metre depth to remove particles and impurities that have been trapped in a floc through the use of flocculation chemicals—typically alum. Since media other than silica sand can be used in such filters, a more ...
