Arenogeny
Definition
The origin, mode of formation, and historical evolution of sand deposits or sandy dunes and beaches within a specific geographical region. From a structural perspective, arenogenia studies the entirety of interactions between tectonic dynamics, petrographic weathering, and climatic factors that determine the emergence and expansion of fine silica particle networks in the Earth's crust.
