This document provides information about sand and windmills. It discusses how sand is formed from erosion of rocks, the different types of sand like glass sand and desert sand. It also outlines some common uses of sand in construction, leisure activities, and as a filtration medium. The document then describes different animals and plants that live in sandy environments like deserts. It provides details about desert climates and features such as oases, sand dunes, and sandstorms. Finally, it gives an overview of how a windmill works by catching wind with its blades to generate electricity.

2. Sand
A loose granular substance, typically pale
yellowish brown, resulting from the erosion of
siliceous and other rocks and forming a major

8. Plants living on Sand
• Many plants are found in the desert.
• They usually grow to the ground
• These plants have special parts that help them
save water.

9. Life on sand

many people live there. They move their
animals and belonging from place to place in
search of water and plants. These men are
crossing from the Syrian desert to Middle East.
They are wearing long, loose clothes to

10. Desert
The desert is the land of extreme heat and
dryness with cold nights. Desert are difficult
place to live in. They often have names like:

• Short ,warm summers &
Cold Long, cold winter.
• Found in places near north
Desert and south pole.

13. Oasis
An oasis is the only place where water is
found in a desert. Water collects in hollows
worn out by the wind. It may come from
desert storms or from rain that falls on
mountains on the edge of the desert.
Rainwater drains through rocks deep under
the desert and collects at an oasis.

14. Sand Dunes
The shape of a sand dune depends on the way
the wind is blowing :
When the wind blows from one direction,
curved dunes, called barchans, formed.
wind direction

15. Climate
• There are 2 types of climate Hot and Dry.
• In the summer during daytime the
temperature of the Sahara Desert often goes
to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
• The hottest temperature, meteorologists have
recorded 136 degrees at Azizia, Libya on
September 13,1922
• The desert receives less than 25 centimeters
of rain each year.

16. Sandstorm
 Violent wind forms the sandstorms.
 Sandstorms can last to many days & hours.
 Sandstorms may cause dehydration &
suffocation of animals and humans.
Camels are the only one to survive in sandstorm

17. Windmill
• Windmills are goods for the environment
because no harmful solids, liquid or gases are
produce.
• No need of any fuel or toxic waste is needed.
• Wind energy is used to generate electricity by
using wind turbines.

18. How does a wind turbine works
 The blades catch the wind and turn the rotor
which they are joined to.
The rotor is connected to the nacelle which
houses all the working for the turbine.
The rotor turns a shaft which is connected to
a set of cogs called a gear box.
The gear box is connected to a generator
which makes electricity when it turns.

19. Facts on sand
• The tallest sand dune is ISANOE-n-TIFERNE.
• Deserts cover about one-third of the earth
land-surface.
• The actacania desert in South America had no
rain for 400 years.
