There are three major types of sand:

Terregenous
This type of sand is eroded from rocks (sedimentary, volcanic, and crystalline), and is generally transported by water. Most sand is of this type.
Carbonate
This type of sand has organic origins, being made from ground sea shells, corals, and other marine sources.
Pyroclastic
This type of sand is created when volcanoes erupt and blow their ash (pyroclastic sand) into the atmosphere.
