What must happen for the quarts to separate from the granite rock and become sediments?
The granite has to be weathered, and then the resulting material has to be eroded and subjected to a process that sorts the quartz grains from the other minerals in the granite. Quartz grains tend to be harder than other clasts in weathered granite, so they tend to remain intact while mica and feldspar are reduced to a fine clay. The quartz sand may then settle out of water where the clay does not, or be left behind when the clay blows away in the wind.
