Because of its high reactivity, the metal is classified as a hazardous material.

Because the comet's motion with respect to Jupiter was very small, it fell almost straight toward Jupiter, which is why it ended up on a Jupiter-centric orbit of very high eccentricitythat is to say, the ellipse was nearly flattened out.

Because of the low numbers of dental schools, funding for building and service developments in the schools can be very high.

Because of dysprosium's high thermal neutron absorption cross-section, dysprosium oxide-nickel cermets are used in neutron-absorbing control rods in nuclear reactors.

Because of their high regard for natural law and for the idea of a universe without miracles, deists were especially susceptible to the temptations of determinism.

Because of the relatively high bit rate of uncompressed video, video compression is extensively used.

Because of the high reactivity, samples of solid europium rarely have the shiny appearance of the fresh metal, even when coated with a protective layer of mineral oil.

Because some towns in these states operate neither local high schools nor elementary schools, students in these towns " are eligible for a voucher to attend public schools in other towns or non-religious private schools.

* Because the device is never shut off completely there is no " turn on " time, little problem with charge storage, and generally better high frequency performance and feedback loop stability ( and usually fewer high-order harmonics ).

Because subwoofers are generally limited to a bandwidth of no higher than 150 Hz, the switching speed for the amplifier does not have to be as high as for a full range amplifier, and simpler designs could be utilized.

Because of very little jobs available to the teens coming out of eighth grade there was an increase in high school attendance in the 1930s.

Because of impurities, such as clay, sand, organic remains, iron oxide and other materials, many limestones exhibit different colors, especially on weathered surfaces.

Because of the seasonal overflow of the numerous westward-flowing streams, the lowland areas of the Paraneña region also experience poor drainage conditions, particularly in the Ñeembucú Plain in the southwest, where an almost impervious clay subsurface prevents the absorption of excess surface water into the aquifer.

Because it was built of clay / mud like the Deffufa of Nubia, time has taken its toll requiring periodic reconstruction.

Because temperature changes are rapid during the raku process, clay bodies used for raku ware must be able to cope with significant thermal stress.

Because it is molded rather than carved, clay may make up the entire pipe or just the bowl, but most other materials have stems made separately and detachable.

Because of these properties, clay is used for making pottery items, both utilitarian and decorative.

Because of its amorphous nature, and occurrence in hydrated areas limonite often presents as a clay or mudstone.

Because Sanford sits where white beach sand from the coast meets the Piedmont clay, the city has the right ingredients to be a large producer of clay bricks.

Because these floodplains consist of sediment containing a high content of glacially ground flour-like silt and clay, they were highly susceptible to winnowing of their silts and clays by the wind.

Because no water washes away the acid or leached rock, it remains as sticky clay to form a mud pot.

Because impervious bedrock is more than below the reservoir, the builders had to line the reservoir with a layer of asphalt and clay to prevent water seeping into the ground.

Because wood and clay were the most common materials used in the past not many old buildings have survived into present times.

Because of a lack of stone and an abundance of clay, Babylonian constructions were of baked brick, using lime or pitch for mortar.

Because much of the valley is clay, material for the dam was extracted from pits dug within the area that would be subsequently flooded.

Because the glacial till contains many different grain sizes, including clay and a thin layer of lake sediments, water cannot percolate readily into the ground.

Because much of the river's course is across clay soil, the river's waterlevel varies greatly.

Because of the shortage of surface water and the relatively poor soils – heavy clay and flint overlaying the permeable chalk – Frieth did not develop into a village until well into Victorian times.

Because of the presence of clay around Boom, the region is well known for its clay pits and brick factories.

Because geologists are certain all the formations from the Lias to the Kimmeridge clay were deposited over the whole of the county, the Gault clay reveals the scale of uplift and erosion which must have taken place before Dorset was flooded.

Because polymer clay is quite pliable and does not need to be heated and reheated to fuse it, it is a much easier medium in which to produce millefiori patterns than glass.

Because no oil needs to be added with this cooking technique, food cooked in a clay pot may be lower in fat compared with food prepared by other methods, such as sautéing or frying.

Because of the heat lost to the evaporation of water, clay pot cooking requires lower oven temperatures and longer cooking times than traditional roasting with dry heat.
