Origin, Transformation, and Stability of Clay Particles

  • Chapter
Book cover The Soil Resource

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 37))

Abstract

Hard rocks weather and turn into substrates for higher plants. The mineral assemblies of rocks are fragmentized to gravels, sands, and silts and transform themselves chemically to clay particles, molecules, and ions. Clay formation is a cardinal pedogenic process.
