Subject: perlite, vermiculite?

I have an English dictionary but perlite and vermiculite are not there.
Could someone explain to me what it is. I understand that it is used for
making soil with good drainage. I use some light expanded stuff called
"leca" in Danish. It is brown on the surface and black inside. Is it the
same as perlite or vermiculite, you think?
