Matthew Henry (1662-1714) writes this allegory on his commentary on Romans 7:7-14a. He is making a comparison on the Law of God between it being "holy and righteous and good" (Romans 7:12) yet at the same time revealing mankind's depravity due to sin. The exact phrase is
"The same sun that makes the garden of flowers more fragrant makes the dunghill more noisome; the same heat that softens wax hardens clay; and the same child was set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel. The way to prevent this mischief is to bow our souls to the commanding authority of the word and law of God, not striving against, but submitting to it."
Sand, silt, and clay result from the weathering of existing rock into smaller particles.
Clay soil is said to hold the most water. This is because the soil's particles are so small and there are numerous small soil spaces. Water moves slowly through. So there is great water retention.
The soil is said to be loamy when all three horizons are found in the soil. This indicates a mixture of sand, silt, and clay particles, providing good drainage, fertility, and aeration for plant growth.
yeah,sure.its so simple to find out the active clay in green sand.Active clay means ,the total active amount of clay(bentonite) present in a sample of green sand.Test Procedure:-Take some sample of green sand and keep it in a oven for 1hr at a temp of 100 deg celsious.This procedure is to make the sand free from moisture.Measure 5gms of this sand after taken from oven and put it in a conical flask with a 50ml of distilled water.Then again keep this in the oven for 10-15 min to boil the solution.Take this from the oven and keep it for a few mins to get cool.Then pour 2ml of diluted h2so4(sulphuric acid) in to the same mixture and place the flask under a burette filled with methylene blue.Then start the titration by leaving methylene blue to the flask containing the above said solution of sand.Shake the flask continously to allow the methylene blue to equally mix with the sand.Stop the titration alternately and place a single drop of solution from the flask in to a filter paper.If you find a light blue ring colour around the dark blue colour(colour of methylene blue) , its the end of itration and read the burette reading.Other wise you can continue titration until you get as above said.calculation:-for example , suppose burette reading is 74there fore active clay = 74/5 =14.8% (for 5gm sample of sand)Hope you understood the procedureThank you.
it depends on the soil, silt tends to be the roughest. clay is more of a under soil (between bedrock and topsoil.) Sand would have to be the smoothest because it likes to level itself out as much as possible do to erosion. Like I said earlier clay likes to hide under another soil (most commonly under sand where I'm from!)
No. Modeling clay contains oil that keeps it soft and never hardens. Polymer clay does not have an oil, it hardens when exposed to heat. polymer clays are often called "oven-bake clay"because you can make stuffs such as pendants, brooch, earings and other accesories using polymer clay by baking them in the oven. YES, i said oven. PLEASE be safe and never try to put them in the microwave.
Origen of Alexandria in the 3rd century AD wrote: "...the sun, by one and the same power of its heat, melts wax indeed, but dries up and hardens mud not that its power operates one way upon mud, and in another way upon wax; but that the qualities of mud and wax are different, although according to nature they are one thing, both being from the earth" ( De Principiis , book 3, chapter 1 'On the Freedom of the Will', paragraph 11). Many other authors have used the same imagery, often without attribution.

Henry Clay
clay said he'll be back in a half an hour.
It is not made of clay whoever said it's made of clay is completely wrong no offense , they are made of different things such gemstones , cowrie shells and more. The eygptians decorated the amulets with symbols they thought had magical powers.
cassius clay
and i know because i just did a science project on "what melts ice fastest" my science teacher said something happens with beet juice, but i didn't get to try it.
google said mud & baked clay encycolpedia said archaeological and geological materials
No. I met Clay in 2009 and actually asked him that question in Tootsies while he played there imitating Trace Adkins and he said "boy I wish" and then he said he was not related to her.

Lots of things harden when heated: clay, for instance. But do they melt when cooled? Does clay? Something that melts when cooled, would be a substance whose particles would slip away off each other with lesser average kinetic energy. Something like a soup of magnetic dipoles, or something of the sort. There are no pure substances that melt as you cool them. However, that assumes no simultaneous change in pressure -- if you decrease the pressure a lot as you cool, then you can melt something while cooling. Similarly, no pure substance will harden when you heat it at constant pressure. But again, if you increase the pressure while you heat it, you can solidify something while heating it. But it's important to understand it's the pressure that doing the solidifying or melting in this case, and you are just working against the change in temperature which is effectively doing the opposite. That said, mixtures can often harden when heated. Clay is a good example. Paint, glue, epoxy will also harden when heated. But in all cases that is because you are either removing water (or another solvent) or you are causing a chemical reaction to happen which causes it to harden. In a similar way, there may be mixtures that melt when cooled (due to a chemical reaction for instance), but I don't know of any.
