Silica that originates from terrestrial sources of rock and soil
Lithogenic silica (LSi) is silica (SiO2) derived from terrigenous rock (Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary), lithogenic sediments composed of the detritus of pre-existing rock, volcanic ejecta, extraterrestrial material, and minerals such silicate.[1][2] Silica is the most abundant compound in the Earth's crust (59%) and the main component of almost every rock (>95%).[3]
