Difference between Granite and Mineral alteration

Granite vs. Mineral alteration

Granite is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture. Mineral alteration refers to the various natural processes that alter a mineral's chemical composition or crystallography.

Similarities between Granite and Mineral alteration

Granite and Mineral alteration have 22 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alkali feldspar, Amphibole, Amphibolite, Calcium, Carbonic acid, Catalysis, Granitoid, Iron, Kaolinite, Limestone, Magnesium, Metamorphic rock, Metamorphism, Mineral, Plagioclase, Potassium feldspar, Pyroxene, Quartz, Radionuclide, Sedimentary rock, Water, Weathering.

Alkali feldspar

The alkali feldspar group are those feldspar minerals rich in the alkali elements like potassium and sodium.

Amphibole

Amphibole is an important group of generally dark-colored, inosilicate minerals, forming prism or needlelike crystals, composed of double chain tetrahedra, linked at the vertices and generally containing ions of iron and/or magnesium in their structures.

Catalysis

Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalysthttp://goldbook.iupac.org/C00876.html, which is not consumed in the catalyzed reaction and can continue to act repeatedly.

Granitoid

A granitoid or granitic rock is a variety of coarse grained plutonic rock similar to granite which mineralogically is composed predominantly of feldspar and quartz.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and atomic number 12.

Metamorphic rock

Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form".

Metamorphism

Metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change).

Mineral

A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound, usually of crystalline form and not produced by life processes.

Plagioclase

Plagioclase is a series of tectosilicate (framework silicate) minerals within the feldspar group.

Potassium feldspar

Potassium feldspar refers to a number of minerals in the feldspar group, and containing potassium.

Pyroxene

The pyroxenes (commonly abbreviated to Px) are a group of important rock-forming inosilicate minerals found in many igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Quartz

Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms in a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2.

Radionuclide

A radionuclide (radioactive nuclide, radioisotope or radioactive isotope) is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable.

Sedimentary rock

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.

Water

Water is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance that is the main constituent of Earth's streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living organisms.

Weathering

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil, and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.
