-Sands in IXE, depending on their typeadhere to a few types of simulation.+The generic term for all terrain in IXE is "sand" - this may lead to some confusionas terrain types may vary in their behavior and characteristics. When terrain (sand) is grouped by these characteristicsthey fall broadly into the following categories: 
 +  * Rock 
 +  * Sand(!) 
 +  * Liquid 
 +  * Gas 
 +  * Walker 
 +  * Stacker 
 + 
 +As such, be clear to differentiate between "sand" as generic word for all terrain and "Sand" as a specific type of terrain(sand).
