What are the differences between living on chalk and clay?

A big difference between living on chalk and clay is that because of chalk escarpments, chalk areas tend to be hills, wheras clay areas are in between these hills, in the dales, or flat-bottomed valleys. These dales tend to be wetter than the chalk escarpments, although the clay dales do have better drainage than the hills, with meandering streams rather than denes with streams (known as bournes). These are physical differences between the two places An example of a human difference between living on chalk and clay is the fact that on chalk escarpments, the soil isn't that good and is only used for grazing animals-mainly sheep and horses. Clay dales also suffer from bad soil-but this time it is too wet and heavy to plough properly, so the lands is mainly used for grazing too. Another difference is that chalk is good for blocks, and the plots serve as underground reservoirs that can be used for storing water, whereas clay is used to make bricks.


Does chalk mean slate?

No. Chalk is a soft carbonate sedimentary rock whereas slate is a fissile rock with a pronounced cleavage formed by the metamorphism of fine grained sedimentary rocks containing clay minerals. Chalk (the soft white mineral used in marking on a slate or blackboard) is actually now commonly made from gypsum but in the past was actully composed of calcitic chalk.
