Clay. This is why people have used it for a building material for thousands of years. Bricks, adobe, and "mud huts" are all made of clay-type soils.
because the sand is very softer than a clay
Loess deposits is form when sediment that is finer than sand, such as particles of clay and silt, is deposited into layers far from its source.
It depends on the particle size of each but some clays such as bentonite are very highly absorbent. This is why it is used for cat litter and as a drilling fluid when drilling bore holes. Although sand may take up water quicker it does not have the capacity to hold on to it. You can see this effect on a beach when the tide goes out the sand soon becomes firm and then dry. Now contrast that with a muddy area which remains muddy for some time after the water has drained off..
wattle and daub is made from clay,sand,fesise and straw
There are different minerals present in each clay body. Red clay typically has a higher iron content than grey clay.
Sand is typically stronger than clay because sand particles are larger and have a higher frictional resistance to sliding past each other. Clay particles are much smaller and have a tendency to stick together, resulting in weaker cohesion and lower strength compared to sand. Additionally, sand has a better drainage capacity, which helps to reduce water content and increase its strength.
No it is bigger.larger than clay but smaller than sand particles" - DESCRIBING SILT
Clay is not more porous than sand. Porous means permeable by fluids, so, sand is more porous than clay.
Yes, clay particles are very small, smaller than sand particles.
because the sand is very softer than a clay
Gravel is typically heavier than sand, and therefore gravel would be heavier than both clay and sand. This is because gravel consists of larger-sized particles and has a higher density compared to clay and sand.
Clay is heavier than sand since its density and its moisture content cause it to be heavier.
Their both the same, really, just two different names for sand with clay in it, however one might have more clay in one (sandy clay) than the other (clayey sand), but only by miniscule amounts.
Clay holds more water than sand and silt. Clay particles are smaller and create a denser structure that can hold water more effectively than the larger particles of sand and silt.
chalk is weaker than clay because of the particles which are migrated inside it. Chalk can float while clay will sink. Clay can also absorb muhc more water No, Clay is stronger than chalk. OF COURSE CHALK IS STRONGER THAN CLAY, HONEY!!! IT IS HARDER AND ABSORBS LESS WATER. Sweetie, why du think clay sinks?
No, clay porosity is typically lower than sand porosity. Clay particles are small and tightly packed, leading to lower porosity compared to sand particles, which are larger and have more open spaces between them.
