Answer: From chemical weathering of igneous rocks

Step-by-step explanation: Clay minerals are the minerals that are a type of combination of light silicates having very minute size of particle and sheet like form. They mostly contain magnesium and aluminium as major component .They get formed in a long period of time as chemical weathering of the igneous rocks takes time by using silicates and some solvent with low dilution.
