Kaolin and ball clays were most often mined by directing hydraulic high-pressure jets of water on the clay faces of open pits, loosening the soft clay from the deposit.
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.
Firing clay is when a clay is fired in a kiln, this is to make the clay stay strong.
a clay slab is a slab made of clay
Clay is made of clay ...
Loess
Clay.
No, clay is a deposit made up of hydrous aluminum phyllosilicates. Mud is i mixture of fine grained minerals.
A deposit of clay and lime mixture on Earth is called marl. Marl is formed from the accumulation of clay and calcium carbonate-based materials over time, often found in sedimentary rock layers. It is commonly used in agriculture and construction due to its nutrient-rich and binding properties.
The Geologic time scale is how they are sure of which is found in the world In Asia they find a red clay deposit under a iron ore deposit In Africa they find a iridium-rich deposit under a red clay deposit In Canada they find this sequence: iron ore, red clay, iridium-rich In Europe they find red clay, iridium-rich, marble, granite When they piece together all of these sequences from around the world until they find a specific pattern in this example: iron ore, red clay, iridium-rich, marble, granite. However sometimes erosion or a drought or some other freak of nature happens that slightly changes the pattern.
Water can deposit sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Wind can deposit smaller particles like sand and dust. Melting glaciers can deposit a mixture of rocks, sediments, and debris known as moraines.

The sedimentary rock that corresponds to a loose, earthy deposit of limestone and clay is called marl. Marl forms from the combination of these materials as they settle and are compressed over time.
Clay soil is mostly found in areas with moderate to high rainfall and temperate climates. It is commonly found in regions with a history of glaciation, such as parts of the Midwest U.S., northern Europe, and parts of China. Clay soil is typically found in low-lying areas where water tends to accumulate and contribute to the formation of 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.
I do, if the question still stands. Only 2-5 kg of the stuff though.
See: http://www.crest.org/discussiongroups/resources/stoves/Boyt/ceramics/ceramics1.html You could spend a lifetime studying clay and its uses. Clay is basically the stuff in dirt that is non-organic, and not sand and rocks. It is always associated with water, but dried-up lakes and streams are the best sources. Clays used by Southwestern Anasazi is a mystery. A thousand years ago they made pottery just millimeters thick that survives today. Nobody (the legend goes) knows the source of this white clay. But some clay as polymer and modlying clay is made out of chemical h2o and rubber.
