vermiculite (clay mineral, mineral, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A group of micaceous clay minerals closely related to chlorite and montmorillonite; vermiculite is derived from the alteration of biotite and phlogopite in the zone of weathering. |

Chinese (traditional) ..... 一雲母質黏土礦物族,與綠泥石和蒙脫石(montmorillonite)相近。蛭石取自風化後的黑雲母和金雲母(phlogopite)。 |
Dutch ..... Een groep glimmerachtige kleimineralen die nauw zijn verwant aan chloriet en montmorilloniet. Vermiculiet ontstaat door de veranderingen van biotiet en flogopiet op de plaats waar het verweert. |
Spanish ..... Grupo de minerales arcillosos micáceos estrechamente relacionados con la clorita y la montorillonita. La vermiculita se deriva de la alteración de la biotita y la flogopita en la zona de acción de la atmósfera. |
