Clay minerals formed from gabbro or diorite bedrock illustrate what kind of weathering?
Chemical Weathering.
What mineral is formed by the weathering of feldspar and other silicate minerals and is the principle mineral in clay and shale?
Kaolinite/Kaolin.
Two mineral grains that are found in soil and formed from granite?
Quartz and mica. Clay minerals come from decomposing feldspars.
How are minerals formed in the soil?
weather rock, gravel ,sand, silt, clay .these are obtained from the parent material the rock from which the soil is derived
What do feldspars weather into?
Clay minerals.
What is the rock that clay comes from?
Clay is the rock.It is formed usually by erosion of felspars and other minerals.
Is it possible for rock to be formed from clay particles?
Yes. Compaction and cementation of clay minerals can result in the formation of shale and claystone.

Is shale formed by physical or chemical weathering?
Shale is a clastic sedimentary rock formed of clay and silt sized eroded particles that are a result of both physical and chemical weathering. The clay minerals, however are the result of chemical weathering of feldspars.

What type of silicates are clay minerals framework chain or sheet?
Clay minerals are sheet silicates.
Where does clay come from in childrens terms?
In childrens terms? how bout this... Clay is a special kind of mud that is formed when the dirt is very fine. well. clay is in the soil it is a special mud as it is full of special minerals that is very good for the plants and soil .
