Scientists discover the sand where the coast of my country will "sing"

Xinhua News Agency, Lanzhou, June 17 (Reporter Zhang Wenjing, Hu Tao) The latest research results show that there are also sands that "sing" in my country. This is another new discovery of the Dunhuang Gobi Desert Research Station of the Dunhuang Gobi Desert Research Station of the Northwest Ecological and Environmental Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Qu Jianjun introduced that Mingsha is also known as Xiangsha, Polygal, or Music Sand, which is often distributed in deserts and beaches, and it is the most rare in the desert. my country is a country that is recorded earlier in Mingsha. It is mainly known for the four major Mingsha land such as Mingshashan Mountain in Dunhuang. It is considered a magical natural phenomenon and has therefore become an important tourism resource. "It is regrettable that for a long time, my country has been considered to have no coastal distribution, and no domestic and foreign reports and research on coastal coasts in my country."

The reporter learned that Qu Jianjun led the team to conduct a long -term scientific investigation along the coast of Hainan Island. During the inspection, they found coastal Sands in the Shenzhou Peninsula, Qingshui Bay and other places, and compared and studied the newly discovered coastumi and the found inland desert Mingsha.

Qu Jianjun told reporters that they analyzed the similarities and differences between the coastal coast Mingsha and the inland desert Mingsha in mineral composition, particle size distribution, surface structure and acoustic signal. Studies have found that the content of Chinese quartz is significantly higher than the desert Mingsha, and the content of the long stone is significantly lower than the desert Sands; Essence At the same time, the "V" -shaped impact pits and chemical solubility of the coastal Sand on the surface with typical underwater mechanical etching effects. Important factor of sound mechanism.

According to reports, the relevant research results have recently been published online in the well -known journal "Scientific Report", which provides theoretical basis and technical support for the development and protection of Tourism resources in Hainan Island.
