Answer by Andrew G
What minerals in a stream sediment or compounds in a soil sample are going to tell you something about the parent rock – alteration products, etc? What tests would you perform. Remember, you are looking for variation. What variation would you expect in a stream sediment? Which minerals would pbe present; which would have been removed through weathering?
