1. 词释：diorite是一种由黑色麻粒状闪长岩和白色斜长石组成的火成岩。
例如：
- The geologist identified the rock as diorite due to its composition of plagioclase feldspar and hornblende.
- Diorite is commonly found in mountain ranges around the world.
2. 物理性质：diorite是一种相对密度较高（2.8-3.3）的火成岩，由于其固结程度较高，具有较高的抗风化能力。
例如：
- Diorite is often used in construction due to its durability and resistance to wear.
- The diorite cliffs along the coast were eroded over millions of years by the pounding waves.
3. 文化意义：作为一种自然材料，diorite的使用在建筑、雕刻和艺术中具有悠久的历史。
例如：
- Ancient Egyptians used diorite statues in religious ceremonies and believed that the stone had magical properties.
- The Mayan civilization also used diorite for sculpture and architectural purposes.
4. 地质分布：diorite广泛分布于地球各大洲，并且与许多重要的矿产资源有关。
例如：
- Diorite is commonly found in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and is ociated with gold deposits.
- In South Africa, diorite is often found in areas with high concentrations of platinum.
5. 相关词汇：与diorite相关的术语包括其它类型的火成岩、矿物和地质过程。
例如：
- Granite and gabbro are two other types of igneous rocks that are often found alongside diorite.
- The formation of diorite is closely tied to volcanic activity and the movement of tectonic plates.
