How do metamorphic rocks form from metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks form from layers of sand, silt or clay, sometimes mixed with pebbles, and the bodies of living things (that may the be fossilised) The rocks are often quite soft. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks (usually sedimentary rocks) are subjected to extreme heat and/or pressure, usually deep underground. The rocks are changed in form, often becoming harder. Fossils are usually destroyed by the process.
What type of rock does the holderness coast have?

Which is the greater bearing pressure soft clay or dry sand?
Soft clay typically has a higher bearing pressure compared to dry sand due to its higher cohesive properties. Soft clay can deform easily under load, leading to higher bearing pressures on the underlying foundation. Dry sand, on the other hand, has lower cohesion and tends to distribute loads more evenly.
Is coal soft?

silt soil is smaller than sand but larger than clay
When making a garden should I use clay?
No. Clay is quite rich in nutrients but lacks organic material and will dry out if not watered or will go sticky if watered too much. The ideal soil for a garden is a loam soil. It contains a balance of all three soil materials-silt, sand and clay-plus humus. Loam is dark in color and is soft, dry and crumbly-in your hands. Loam is a soil comprised of almost equal amounts of sand and silt and a little less clay.
