COLORS OF THE BEACH

By Rina Dina.

Based on the colors of the sand, beaches can be classified into four large groups: white, brown, black and colorful beaches. The first group is the white-sand group. The beaches in this group range in color from clear white to yellow; a color obtained from the erosion of coral reefs. Many beaches in Bangka Belitung like Tanjung Tinggi and the ones at Gili Islands in Lombok belong to this group. The next group is the brown-sand group. The colors in this group range from pale cream to golden caramel. They obtained the color mostly from river sand and gravel and rocks around the area. Kuta Beach in Bali and Lahilote Beach ini Gorontalo are two examples for this group. The third one is the black-sand group. The color of the sand here varies from grey to jet black. The black color is caused by the cold lava of the volcanoes in the area. Amankila Beach in Bali and Batu Putih Beach in North Sulawesi belong here. The last is the colorful-sand beach. This group has many color variations and only a few beaches represent each color. For example, all over the world, there are only ten pink-sand beaches, which got their color from a combination of white and red corals or the shells of dead microorganisms in the area. Science Corner One of the beaches is in Indonesia:

Pink Beach in Komodo Island or Tangsi Beach in Lombok. Another color is green, which is caused by the olivine crystals from volcanoes. There are only four green beaches in the world, one of which is Papakolea Beach in Hawaii. Other colors are orange, red, purple, chocolate-brown, and rainbow colors, all of which are the results of specific materials that form the sand. Therefore, beaches have different colors of sand due to the different materials that form them.

Match the sand colors to the cause of the colors:

White

a)

The erosion of coral reefs

b)

Olivine crystal from a volcano

c)

River sand, gravel, the rocks around the area

d)

Shells of dead microorganism

e)

Old lava of a volcano
