Chemical Weathering of Feldspar to Clay part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This site features a short animation that shows the evolution of an unaltered feldspar crystal to a clay as a result of progressive chemical weathering. The animation can be paused and rewound to ...Subject: Mineralogy: Geoscience:Geology:Sedimentary Geology:Weathering, Geoscience:Geology:Mineralogy
Weathering and Mineral Evolution part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This annotated slide set shows how the introduction of rain water changes the elemental composition of parent material as it is weathered into first immature and then mature soil. The site ...Subject: Mineralogy: Geoscience:Geology:Sedimentary Geology:Weathering, Geoscience:Geology:Mineralogy
Weathering and Clay Evolution part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This annotated animation shows how primary minerals lose content at a linear pace. The site illustrates how primary minerals, 2:1 clays, 1:1 clays, and aluminum and iron oxides develop as a function ...Subject: Mineralogy: Geoscience:Geology:Sedimentary Geology:Weathering, Geoscience:Geology:Mineralogy
Mineral Weathering part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This annotated animation explains how chemical weathering affects the evolution of parent material from highly resistant primary minerals to both secondary minerals and minerals in solution. It ...Subject: Mineralogy: Geoscience:Geology:Sedimentary Geology:Weathering, Geoscience:Geology:Mineralogy
CrystalMaker part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This is the website to obtain demo and commerical versions of the program CrystalMaker, a program for building, displaying, and manipulating all kinds of crystal and molecular structures. The program ...Subject: Mineralogy: Geoscience:Geology:Mineralogy:Crystallography
Crystal Lattice Structures part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This page, maintained by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, offers a concise index of common crystal lattice structures, including those from minerals and non-minerals.
