Clay is a type of fine-grained natural soil material containing clay minerals [1] (hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates, e.g. kaolinite, Al 2 Si 2 O 5 4). Most pure clay minerals are white or light-coloured, but natural clays show a variety of colours from impurities, such as a reddish or brownish colour from small amounts of iron oxide. [2] [3]

Fats and waxes from plant matter have still more resistance to decomposition and persist in soils for thousand years, hence their use as tracers of past vegetation in buried soil layers. [166] Clay soils often have higher organic contents that persist longer than soils without clay as the organic molecules adhere to and are stabilised by the ...

[2] [3] [4] It is a very common material, [5] and is the oldest known ceramic. Prehistoric humans discovered the useful properties of clay and used it for making pottery. [6] The chemistry of clay, including its capacity to retain nutrient cations such as potassium and ammonium, is important to soil fertility. [7]
Uchu Sentai Kyuranger is a 2017 Japanese television series, and is the 41st entry of the long-running Super Sentai series produced by TV Asahi and Toei Company.Taking place in the late 21st century, the series follows a team of alien warriors chosen by the constellations to fight Jark Matter, an evil organization that has taken over the galaxy.
For example, if a soil is 70 percent sand and 10 percent clay then the soil is classified as a sandy loam. The same method can be used starting on any side of the soil triangle. If the texture by feel method was used to determine the soil type, the triangle can also provide a rough estimate on the percentages of sand, silt, and clay in the soil.
The thickness of the zone of capillary saturation depends on the pore size, but typically, the heights vary between a centimeter or so for coarse sand to tens of meters for a silt or clay. [3] In fact the pore space of soil is a uniform fractal e.g. a set of uniformly distributed D-dimensional fractals of average linear size L.
