Is the end just the beginning? Can deserts create a new beginning

It is estimated that one billion grains of sand are created in the world every second.

This is a beginning flowing from an end: “creating a grain of sand means the death of a mountain”, - says British geologist and expert on sand, Michael Welland.

Sand goes through a permanent cycle of erosion, transportation, and storage. Like human fingerprints, a grain of sand reveals the composition of its origin. Weyland estimates that half of all the sand has passed this cycle 6 times.

A grain of sand often joins a rock through a special geology process like lithification before the wind takes it away just a few millenniums later.

Giant formations such as Mount Valley, which was once nothing more than a plateau, were formed when layer by layer, leaving behind strange sculptures used as a background for many Western films.

Between Utah and Arizona, sand acts as a gravestone, changing entire landscapes. Several hundred miles away, it even hides its secret life.

Death Valley, it's the deadest and most hostile desert in North America any living creature has ceased to exist like this.

But researchers discovered something amazing in its barren sand: Despite earth's temperature reaching about 70 degrees Fahrenheit [70 ° C], and regardless of its name, there are billions of flower seeds that grow at the same time, transforming hell's coal into a surreal paradise for several weeks.

What is the secret behind this mass prosperity?

A chemical stimulant inside the seeds, which remain on inactive sand for over 30 years, until they get enough water to ensure the survival of their flowers. Desert shrimp eggs also lie in a sleeping state for 20 years, after which they hatch over 1 billion caterpillars at the same time.
