Rocks rich in what mineral tend to have a poor solubility during weathering?

A) quartz
B) calcite
C) halite
D) anhydrite

Poor Solubility

Describes a substance's low capability to dissolve in a solvent, typically referring to solids in liquids.

Quartz

A hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms, common in the Earth's crust and used in various applications due to its durability and piezoelectric properties.

Weathering

The breakdown of rocks, soils, and minerals through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms, leading to the formation of sediment.
