Why is lithogenous sediment the most common neritic deposit?
because biogenous ooze is the mmst common pelagic deposits
How do lithogenous sediments differ from biogenous sediments?
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons. Although lithogenous sediments represent the largest total volume, biogenous sediments cover a greater area of sea floor

The sediment transport by the rock cycle

Why are quartz grains and clay particles the most common lithogenous sediments conveyed to the ocean?
Lithogenous sediment particles are produced by wind and water erosion and weathering of terrestrial rocks. During weathering, easily dissolved minerals are removed, leaving mostly siliceous minerals including quartz, feldspars, and clay minerals. Clay minerals are layered structures of silicon, aluminum, and oxygen atoms, some containing iron and other elements. They are then carried to the oceans by rivers, glaciers, and winds, or eroded from coastlines by waves.
