Which of the following global trends best exemplifies the concept of sustainability? A
An increase in the use of agricultural pesticides, because farms using agricultural chemicals produce more food.
B
An increase in the use of electric vehicles, because their reduced emissions result in less environmental pollution
С
A decrease in the amount of polar sea ice, because it opens more sea lanes for shipping
D
An increase in the number of people living in coastal areas, because residents will feel more connected to nature.
E
A decrease in the practice of slash-and-burn agriculture, because large irrigated farms produce food more efficiently.

If you are talking about typical sand you would find at the beach or in a river bed here on earth, there are some differences. i would say the first biggest difference is in composition and mineral make up. although the moon is largely made of the same materials as earth’s mantle and surface, the moon experiences very little weathering (no liquid water and virtually no atmosphere). “earth” sand is typically composed mostly of quartz grains. this is because quartz is highly resistant to both physical and chemical weathering. most of the other minerals originally with the quartz are broken down into fine clay and carried away, chemically eroded/ dissolved, or some combination of the two. this usually leaves only the quartz behind, and so most of the time when you see/think of sand, you are talking about quartz. without these weathering mechanisms on the moon, the “sand” (which is likely more silt or clay sized grains anyways) would consist of mostly other minerals like anorthosite, olivine, and proxene.
