Gypsum

Gypsum is a soft mineral that makes the White Sands. The sand is formed when big pieces of Gypsum breaks in to small

pieces. These small pieces are then carried away with the wind. This makes them rub against each other which makes the pieces

smaller and smaller. Finally it becomes fine, smooth sand corn.

History

100 million years ago it was covered by sea.

It was discovered by some officers in 1849

In 1933, President Herbert Hoover made it a national park.
