Best Answer

Terracotta is fragile, because it must be made thin. It is made as thin as possible to prevent an artist leaving air bubbles inside of the clay. If there is air inside of the clay it will expand and break the clay while it is being fired.

Is Terracotta a predicate adjective?

It could be, or not, depending on the sentence. The word terracotta (a ceramic) can be a noun or adjective. If the subject of the sentence is something "made of terracotta" then it will be a predicate adjective. (e.g. The roof is mostly terracotta. = a terracotta roof) But if the subject refers to a material, it is a predicate nominative (e.g. For some building uses, the material will be terracotta.)
