A mountain stream drains an area that is predominately a coarse grained granite. the granite has the basic composition of 15% qu

artz and 85% feldspars. however, a few miles from the mountains, an inspection of the stream sediments reveal that the composition of the sand is transporting is about 75% quartz and only 25% feldspars. why is there such a difference between the source of the sand (granite) and what is found in the stream that drains the granite mountains?

The quartz is more resistant to abrasion and chemically more resistant than the feldspar.  The result is that the quartz remains in the stream but the feldspar breaks down to clay or is dissolved.

Answer:

This question is incomplete, because there is no picture, but I attached one, related with the question. The correct answer Trade winds are shown as number 1.

Explanation:

Trade winds and permamnet winds which blow between Tropic of Cancer, Equator and Tropic of Capricorn (which is between 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S.

These wind always flows from Tropics towards the Eqautor, because around the Eqautor is permanent low pressure area, and around the Tropics is permanent high pressure area. Air always flows from high pressure towards low pressure area.

Due to Earth's rotation trade winds curve a little bit, a they become prevailing Northeasterly Trades (in Northern hemisphere) and Southeasterly Trades (in Southern hemisphere). Earth rotates in west-east direction, and that is the reason for their deflection.

Trade winds got their name in the Age of Discovery (14-15 century) when sailing around the world and explorations were very common. Explorers find out that in specific regions exist winds with permanent direction. That was very importnant in the Middle Ages, so explorers always followed their patterns. Term '<em>trade</em>' is actually from Middle English and it means '<em>track</em>'.
