Expert Solution

Step 1 Intro

The last three rock types are as following :-

=>The Rock type in which muscovite and quartz minerals are present is gneiss. The type of weathering condition is arid and the products formed are quartz as sand grains .

=>minerals present in dolomite rock type are calcium carbonate , calcium magnesium carbonate. Arid Weathering condition takes place and products formed are clay minerals and iron oxide.

=> quartz and mica are minerals present in arkose rock type . Weathering condition takes place in this Rock type and products formed are quartz as sand grains .
