Question

select all that apply what two mineral (types) dominate the composition of lithogenous sediments? heavy metals feldspar quartz clays

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Lithogenous sediments are derived from the weathering of rocks on land. The dominant minerals in lithogenous sediments are Quartz (due to its resistance to weathering) and Clays (formed from the chemical weathering of other minerals like feldspar, but clays themselves are a major component of these sediments). Feldspar is more easily weathered and not as dominant as quartz and clays in lithogenous sediments, and heavy metals are not the main mineral types here.

Answer:

Quartz, Clays
