Introduction to Soil Science / Mineralogy
"Minerals are crystalline solids identified by both their chemical composition and atomic framework. Soil minerals may be inherited from parent material, added physically, or formed and transformed during soil development. Their prevalence and reactivity determine how strongly they influence soil properties."
