To make a valley landform out of clay, you will need clay, a flat surface to work on, sculpting tools such as a knife or a modeling tool, a reference image of a valley for guidance, and possibly some paints for detailing if desired. Begin by molding the clay into the desired shape of a valley, adding details like streams and vegetation as needed.

Clay is used in: ceramic materials, making pottery items, clay tablets, bricks, cooking pots, art objects, dishware, musical instruments, paper making, cement production, chemical filtering, tobacco, pottery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, nanomaterials, adsorbents, soil conditioners, nutraceuticals, mineral supplements, water filtration, environmental remediation, pond liners.

my guess is: straw, clay, dirt, very fine sand, and gravel
