En surface, les minéraux résiduels non dissous par les eaux superficielles s'accumulent sur place ou, entraînés par le ruissellement, rejoignent les alluvions des cours d'eau. C'est ainsi que les grains de quartz libérés par la destruction des roches granitiques produisent le sable des rivières, des lacs et des océans.
