The Solid Phase Inorganic components: soil minerals Organic components: soil organic matter Inorganic components: Primary minerals: The sand and silt fractions consist largely of primary minerals. Primary minerals are formed at elevated temperatures and inherited unchanged from igneous and metamorphic rocks, sometimes through a sedimentary cycle. The most abundant primary minerals in soils: quartz(SiO2) and feldspars (MAlSi3O8) Micas, pyroxenes, amphiboles, and olivine are in smaller quantities. The Solid Phase(續) Second minerals: Minerals of the clay fraction of soils are largely secondary.
