Beach pebbles form gradually over time as the ocean water washes over loose rock particles. The result is a smooth, rounded appearance.  The typical size range is from 2&nbsp;mm to 50&nbsp;mm. The colors range from translucent white to black, and include shades of yellow, brown, red and green.  Some of the more plentiful pebble beaches are along the coast of the [[Pacific Ocean]], beginning in Canada and extending down to the tip of South America in Argentina. Other pebble beaches are in northern Europe (particularly on the beaches of the [[Norwegian Sea]]), along the coast of the U.K. and Ireland, on the shores of Australia, and around the islands of Indonesia and Japan.
