Vineyards in Montalcino are planted in varied soils-including limestone, clay, schist, volcanic soil and a crumbly marl known as galestro-at altitudes ranging from 149 m to 500 m. This diversity in terroir contributes to the vast range in quality and potential complexity of Brunello di Montalcino.

To form spout, between two designs, dampen area slightly and gently push clay outward.

Grapnels rarely have enough fluke area to develop much hold in sand, clay, or mud.

This characteristic clay, known as mattaione, represents the sediments of the Pliocene sea which covered the area between 2. 5 and 4. 5 million years ago.

The smaller particles of clay result in a larger surface area that can hold water.

The area took its name from the city quarter or dēmos ( δῆμος ) of the Kerameis ( Κεραμεῖς, potters ), which in turn derived its name from the word κέραμος ( kéramos, " pottery clay ", from which the English word " ceramic " is derived ).

Chains of such structures are common, as are steep elevations and smooth, concrete-like clay deposits formed by the rapid evaporation of flood waters in the same area for a number of years.

Silt, with its higher specific surface area, is more chemically active than sand, but the clay content, with its very high specific surface area and generally large number of negative charges, gives clay its great retention capacity for nutrients and water.

Most of the area is covered with sand-dunes ( barchans ); in the North-West large areas are covered with takirs ( clay coatings ); there are also some oases.

Sumo matches take place in a dohyō ( 土俵 ): a ring, in diameter and in area, of rice-straw bales on top of a platform made of clay mixed with sand.

# East of this, there is an area including Callahan with very sandy soil on top, and clay underneath.

The area in the west around Pottery Lane was used in the early nineteenth century for making bricks and tiles out of the heavy clay dug in the area.

The exact meaning of the term is disputed, with common translations being " isolated village " and " place of red earth ", the latter referring to the reddish-ochre clay which is common in the area around Dunedin.

Moreover, the area was prone to fog and waterlogging as a result of poor drainage due to heavy clay soils.

Historically, the area was renowned for mineral extraction, including clay, aggregates and notably the digging of huge amounts of chalk from the West Thurrock area for use in the now defunct cement industries.

The dye used was reportedly derived from the rich red clay abundant in the area.

A channel of the Çarşamba river once flowed between the two mounds, and the settlement was built on alluvial clay which may have been favourable for early agriculture.

Excavations were also made below the royal tombs layer: a-thick layer of alluvial clay covered the remains of earlier habitation, including pottery from the Ubaid period, the first stage of settlement in southern Mesopotamia.

Deeper alluvial strata, overlying Precambrian basement rock, Eocene alluvial deposits from a shallow Laramide depression, the Blanco Basin Formation ; and Oligocene ash and lava flows associated with the Conejos Formation, is the Santa Fe formation, mixed alluvium and lava outflows from the San Juan volcanic field to the west ; later strata comprise the Alamosa formation, alternating layers of sand, gravel, and clay.

A narrow band of alluvial soils is found all along the east coast and at the mouths of the major rivers on the west coast ; clay, sand, and limestone mixtures are found in the west ; and shallow or skeletal laterite and limestone are located in the south.

Pin oak grows primarily on level or nearly level, poorly drained alluvial floodplain and river bottom soils with high clay content.

The soil is alluvial and silty in nature, underlaid by clay or mud, with a peat layer in places.

There are four main habitats contained with the park: riverine, alluvial flats, rocky hills, and clay plains.

These geological formations have a much lower capacity to store rainwater than alluvial areas with porous sand or clay rocks, hence being given priority.

Overlying the bedrock are deposits of glacial sand and gravel, clay, and some alluvial deposits.

The choice of motte and bailey or ringwork was partially driven by terrain, as mottes were typically built on low ground, and on deeper clay and alluvial soils.

The soils are dark alluvial to clay soils and combined with the well-drained, hilly terrain and Mediterranean climate prove ideal for viticulture.

The land is mainly alluvial soils, primarily clay, washed seaward from the streams and rivers of the interior valleys.

Moreover, Bengal is very much associated with gold-The soil of Bengal region is golden color ( gangetic alluvial ), golden harvest ( rice ), golden fruits ( mangoes ), golden minerals ( gold and clay ) and yellow skinned people.

The Riverine Plain is an alluvial plain consisting of sediments of silt, clay and fine sand deposited by the extensive ancestral streams of the early Quaternary period ( overlying more ancient granite rocks and sediments ).

It is dominated by a line of sand and clay hills, surrounded by an extensive area of marshland composed of alluvial silt.

Most gold mining in the early years was alluvial mining, where the gold was in small particles mixed with dirt, gravel and clay close to the surface of the ground, or buried in the beds of old watercourses or " leads ".

Soil composition developed from recent alluvial deposits which are silty-loam to clay loam and landforms consist of limestone and sedimentary rocks.

The geological structure of the region consists of old and new alluvium, both of which constitute as alluvial deposits mainly of sand, clay, silt, gravels and coarse fragments.

Low samphire and saltbush shrublands cover the saline alluvial plains, snakewood scrublands cover the clay flats, Bowgada low woodland covers sandy ridges and plains, red sand dune fields are interspersed or overlain with tree to shrub steppe over hummock grasslands, and Acacia startii / A.

Behind the beach deep peat and clay deposits alternating with alluvial sediments evidence the lagoon.

These facts explain why the main fill of the lagoon is peat, silt and clay, and not thicker-grained alluvial deposits, and why it took so long.

Nearer to the river, the Createceous pleateau gives way to more or less recent alluvial grasslands composed of bri, a type of clay.

These alluvial deposits consist of clay, loam, silt etc.
