SAND DUNE NEXT TO ROUTE 24 NEAR HANKSVILLE, UTAH - Charles F. Lindgren Photograph

 

We decided on a road trip for our 50th wedding anniversary! We stopped in Hanksville after visiting Goblin Valley State Park on our way back to Salt Lake City to catch our midnight flight back to Boston! We saw these incredible sand dunes of red sand, and had to stop on Route 24. This image was taken where the sand was finally collected. Life finds a way!

Roundness is the degree of smoothing due to abrasion of sedimentary particles. It is expressed as the ratio of the average radius of curvature of the edges or corners to the radius of curvature of the maximum inscribed sphere.

The sphericity of a particle is: the ratio of the surface area of a sphere (with the same volume as the given particle) to the surface area of the particle.
