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.
