Ideas in this flowchart

  • Poorly crystalline silicates
  • They are silicon-oxygen minerals.
  • They have short-range order rather than extensive repeating crystal patterns.
  • They commonly form from volcanic ash.
  • Examples include allophane and imogolite.
  • Allophane
  • Imogolite
  • These minerals have sphere- or tube-shaped structures.
  • They retain substantial water.
  • They have significant pH-dependent charge.
  • These properties contribute to the fertility of volcanic-ash soils.
