Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quartz is the most abundant mineral in detrital sedimentary rocks because it is resistant to weathering and erosion, and can be transported long distances before being deposited. Calcite is also common in sedimentary rocks, but it is a chemical sedimentary rock mineral rather than a detrital sedimentary rock mineral. Orthoclase and biotite are both minerals found in igneous rocks but are not as abundant in detrital sedimentary rocks.
