Formed by storm tides as early as the 10th Century, the Wadden Sea is responsible for the distinctive formations of its many islands, characterised by high sand dunes and lush, wide beaches on the open sea side and a shallow coast towards the mainland.
There are stark deserts, high peaks, endless sand dunes, broad rivers, and every sort of stunning natural beauty.
Villagers said high winds resulted in sand being blown across the road and hampering local shop owners from getting to their properties.
This year he completed what is believed to be the first ever fracture stimulation procedure in Turkey: injecting a mixture of water and sand at high pressure down the wells to break up rock and release gas.
In northern Indiana on Tuesday, sand whipped by high winds spawned by the far-reaching storm forced cancellation of classes at one school, the Associated Press reported.
Sand dunes in a Cornish village need urgent management to protect properties from sand blown in by high winds, residents have warned.
About 25, 000 wells a year are being fracked, a process in which water, chemicals and sand are injected at high pressure underground to release trapped natural gas.
Coastal ponds are usually separated from the sea by a sand dune a few metres high.
Fracking uses high-pressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals to crack rock formations and release oil and natural gas deep underground.
It extracts oil from the ground using a method called fracking - pumping down a mixture of sand, water and chemicals at high pressure.
The drilling technique, which uses sand, water and chemicals under high pressure to extract oil and natural gas from rock formations, has helped Eagle Ford oil production grow by 184% last year compared with 2011, according to the Railroad Commission of Texas, which regulates the state's oil and gas exploration and production.
So if you want to protect gains and have high level stops, that is your line in the sand.
Storm waves and high winds have washed away thousands of tonnes of beach sand in front of the launching area for a Norfolk lifeboat.
Hydraulic fracturing pumps many thousands of gallons of mainly water and sand, with a few chemicals, at high pressure into tight gas-bearing shale deposits (hardened muds), creating cracks that allow gas to flow back up the well to the surface ( Shale Shock).
It meets the highest standards of resistance to dust, sand, shock, vibrations, low pressure, high and low temperature, rain and long-term moisture.
Under the process of fracking, oil or gas is extracted from shale rock by pumping a mixture of sand, water and chemicals into the rock at high pressure.
Tiger Woods got him out of a sand trap, noting that he too was motivated by high state taxes when he moved in the 1990s.
In fracking, a mixture of water, sand and some chemicals is pumped into a well under high pressure to force the gas from the rock.
Berm crest: ridge of sand or gravel deposited by wave action on the shore just above the normal high water mark.
Three basaltic peaks soared high above the lush forests, the surrounding water a milky dark green hue due to the volcanic sand below.
And there are mounds of gravel, and holes in the sides of the basin where gravel has been taken out, and high up in the steep sides there are little holes that are the little front doors of the little sand-martins' little houses.
But on this point Iannelli is not convinced: "At the moment, solar panels are not fit for purpose in the UAE ... the dust and the sand in the atmosphere prevent (sun) rays from hitting the panels efficiently ... and the high temperatures also reduce performance, " he says.
