main cause is the hard soil which cannot be wetted by water.
Bricks are mostly clay, fired to be hard and resist water penetration
No. If it isn't water proof it will break.
Mortar is used to stick bricks together. It can be either: * cement mortar: a mixture of water, sand and cement, or * lime mortar: a mixture of lime, sand and water.(This is not used often for modern construction because of its porosity) * clay mud mortar: a mixture of clay sand, water (only used in some adobe construction) Lime is sometimes added to cement mortar to improve workability, waterproof qualities, and reduce shrinkage. Straw is sometimes added to clay mortar to reduce shrinkage.
Adobe houses were made of adobe bricks that is a material made of clay, sand, water, and a fibrous material like straw or sticks with manure. The bricks were formed and dried in the sun. Adobe is also known as mud brick.

I don't know. This is a ques in my T.B that I need to answer but I don't know what to write. Who gave this question?
it basicly depends on the quantity: if there is more water and less bricks then the water weighs more if there are more bricks than water then the bricks weigh more if the bricks and water are in equal amount, then if the water is really dense it may weigh more... it varies
Bricks are porous and will absorb anything dissolved in water. If there is fluorine present in water that comes in contact with bricks, when the water evaporates, there will be fluorine in your brick.

Bricks
not enough water or fiber!
what kind of bricks, and why should any silicone content be removed? silicone would make them heat and water resistant? what kind of bricks, and why should any silicone content be removed? silicone would make them heat and water resistant?
Bricks are mostly clay and water. the material is mixed and they are extruded into one long shape and then cut into separate bricks before going into a drying oven. Hand made bricks are dried in the sun.
adobe bricks, mud
What liquid? Being plastic, they certainly float in water.
Only by water washing.
