The most common end product of the chemical weathering of quartz is?
Solute silica.
Because of its quartz resists chemical weathering more than any other common mineral?
hardness
Why does quartz resist chemical weathering more than any other common material?
because of its hardness
What is a component of granite that is not susceptible to chemical weathering?
The component of granite that is not susceptible to chemical weathering is called Quartz!
Which tough mineral is most likely to survive extensive chemical weathering and form sand grains on beaches or dunes?
Quartz
The most common end product of the chemical weathering of quartz is?
Solute silica.
Quartz resists chemical weathering more than any other common mineral?
Quartz is a mineral that is the most resistant to chemical weathering. Its resistance is due to the structure of the grains that comprise it.
Is quartz affected by chemical weathering?
Quartz goes through virtually no chemical weathering, as its form SiO2 is extremely stable. It's nearly unreactive.
Why does Quartz resist chemical weathering more than other common material?
because of its hardness
Why does quartz resist chemical weathering more than any other common material?

Minerals resistant to chemical weathering?
Quartz is a mineral that is highly resistant to chemical weathering. Marble is a mineral that is more susceptible to chemical weathering.
What is a component of granite that is not susceptible to chemical weathering?
The component of granite that is not susceptible to chemical weathering is called Quartz!
Chemical weathering changes quartz to clay minerals?
true
What pair of minerals most common in detrital sedimentary rocks?
Clay minerals and quartz are the chief constituents of most sedimentary rocks in this category. To answer why, clay minerals are the most abundant product of the chemical weathering of silicate minerals, especially the feldspars. Clays are fine-grained minerals with sheetlike crystalline structures similar to the micas. Quartz is abundant because it is extremely durable and very resistant to chemical weathering. Thus, when igneous rocks such as granite are attacked by weathering processes, individual quartz grains are freed.
How do you account for the abundance of quartz?
The mineral quartz is abundant in sedimentary rocks because quartz is very durable and resistant to chemical weathering.
Which tough mineral is most likely to survive extensive chemical weathering and form sand grains on beaches or dunes?
Quartz
