... the kilnmaster had to make sure that the temperature inside the kiln stayed at a level that caused the clay to shimmer with the colour of molten gold or silver.

Farther south, the basin floor slopes upward, forming a series of low sand and clay plateaus, called koros, which eventually climb to 615 meters above sea level.

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

These were offered by a realtor named Charles Schleier, who tempted potential purchasers, describing the area as being " The finest, healthiest location, good for till soil, splendid water, good market for produce, rapid and cheap transit ", and as " level land and hills, romantic scenery, fine clay land, mineral springs ; the most beautiful place for private residence and garden ".

A few of the large streams, such as the Mojave River, when in flood may spread out in a temporary shallow sheet on a dead level of clay, or playa, in a basin center, but the sheet of water vanishes in the warm season ( dry lake ) and the stream shrinks far up its course, the absolutely barren clay floor of the playa, impassable when wet, becomes firm enough for crossing when dry.

It prefers loamy soils ( sand and clay soil ) with a constant level of moisture.

It also operates Barrett Clay Works at 485 Main Street, with studio spaces for individual artists, and a street level space devoted to instruction in various methods of " working clay " for children through seniors.

They need a reasonable level of sun to survive, and do best in light soils, suffering in heavy and clay types, once fully established they are extremely resilient and may be divided.

The territory of Brindisi is characterized by a wide flat area from which emerge sub deposits of limestone and sand of marine origin, which in turn have a deeper level clay of the Pleistocene era, and an even later Mesozoic carbonate composed of limestone and soils.

The territory is mostly the bed of the former Lake Texcoco with soils of compressed clay over sand, with the exception of the Peñón de los Banos at 2, 290 meters above sea level, made of basalt.

Soil and especially clay is good thermal mass ; it is very good at keeping temperatures at a constant level.

Whilst the aim was to produce food from the difficult clay soil, being close to a railway and up to 500 feet above sea level with beautiful and broad views made the area attractive. St.

This area is experiencing post-glacial uplift that connects the rising islands as they break sea level, revealing till deposits and eventually clay bottoms.

The subsoil is of heavy clay, rendering the land too soggy in winter for sheep, and inviting a greater level of attention to ditching and drain maintenance than has been applied to the district's road network since 1974.

The upper level is bordered by an impermeable stratum of clay.

He went on to argue that the most likely place that such surface boulders would have been found in the late prehistoric was " on the sides of the ridge at or near the level of the strong spring line between the Inferior Oolithic and the Lias clay.

The Egyptian historian Al-Idrisi ( d. 1251 ) developed another archaeological methodology in his book Anwar for Egyptology, which included: " reasons for the study of the importance of the pyramids ; description of the route to the site ; description of the pyramids and their inscriptions ; measuring, and checking previous measurements ; analysis of the form of the pyramid and reasons for building, with a critical review of literature ( more than 22 authorities quoted ) on the subject ; study of sediments as an indication of the flood level ; chemical analysis of clay in building material, by studying its mineral content in order to check place of origin ; regular visits to the site to see it in different conditions, and to recheck measurements ; noting stones reused at Jeremias Monastery, Saqqara as evidence of earlier dates, an observation confirmed by modern research.

The parish is largely flat, lying mostly between and above sea level, on the alluvium of the Yeo and Cam valleys and partly on clay loam on the Lower Lias.

Swavesey, forming a historical parish of 3982 acres on the border with Huntingdonshire lies on a narrow clay ridge rising to 18 metres above sea level at one time surrounded by fenland.

A true university, like most successful marriages, is a unity of diversities Without forcing all components into a single pattern, the preparation of a master plan is an opportunity to consider interrelation of knowledge at its highest level, which a university -- in contrast to a multiversity -- should stand for.

While the use of paracetamol, aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and other NSAIDS concurrently with weak to mid-range opiates ( up to about the hydrocodone level ) has been said to show beneficial synergistic effects by combatting pain at multiple sites of action, several combination analgesic products have been shown to have few efficacy benefits when compared to similar doses of their individual components.

The most common microelectronic components are semiconductor transistors, although all main electronic components ( resistors, capacitors, inductors ) can be created at a microscopic level.

In general, this process of decomposition is undertaken either for the purpose of gaining insight into the identity of the constituent components ( which may reflect individual physical processes of interest, for example ), or for the purpose of obtaining a compressed representation of the global function, a task which is feasible only when the constituent processes possess a certain level of modularity ( i. e., independence or non-interaction ).

The primary advantage of in vitro work is that it permits an enormous level of simplification of the system under study, so that the investigator can focus on a small number of components.

They will typically have a number of different components, which range from descriptive data to information about rights and educational level.

The theory posits that we use two primary cues for sound lateralization, using the difference in the phases of sinusoidal components of the sound and the difference in amplitude ( level ) between the two ears.

If they had any significant level of non-organic parts then something as simple as an x-ray scan would show them not to be human ( unless their creators designed the non-organic parts to have almost exactly the same structure and density as the organic components they were replacing, which would be both infeasible and highly improbable but not completely out of the question ).

The level of integration and management of a business process link is a function of the number and level, ranging from low to high, of components added to the link ( Ellram and Cooper, 1990 ; Houlihan, 1985 ).

Consequently, adding more management components or increasing the level of each component can increase the level of integration of the business process link.

A primary level channel participant is a business that is willing to participate in the inventory ownership responsibility or assume other aspects of financial risk, thus including primary level components ( Bowersox and Closs, 1996 ).

A secondary level participant ( specialized ) is a business that participates in channel relationships by performing essential services for primary participants, including secondary level components, which support primary participants.

Third level channel participants and components that support the primary level channel participants and are the fundamental branches of the secondary level components may also be included.

Consequently, Lambert and Cooper's framework of supply chain components does not lead to any conclusion about what are the primary or secondary ( specialized ) level supply chain components ( see Bowersox and Closs, 1996, p. 93 ).

To accommodate it, the south part of the summit was cleared, made level by adding some 8, 000 two-ton blocks of limestone, a foundation deep at some points, and the rest filled with earth kept in place by the retaining wall.

Diego Garcia is the above-water rim of a coral atoll composed of Holocene coral rubble and sand to the depth of about 36 metres ( 120 ft ), overlaying Pleistocene limestone deposited at the then-sea level on top of a seamount rising approximately 1, 800 metres ( 6, 000 ft ) from the floor of the Indian Ocean.

North of Isna ( 160 km north of Aswan ), the plateau on both sides of the valley rises to as much as 550 m above sea level ; at Qina ( some 90 km north of Isna ) the 300-m limestone cliffs force the Nile to change course towards the southwest for about 60 km before it turns northwest for about 160 km to Asyut.

Erosion along limestone shores, notably in the tropics, produces karst topography that includes a sharp makatea surface above the normal reach of the sea and undercuts that are mostly the result of biological activity or bioerosion at or a little above mean sea level.

The Florida Keys, islands off the south coast of Florida, are composed mainly of oolitic limestone ( the Lower Keys ) and the carbonate skeletons of coral reefs ( the Upper Keys ), which thrived in the area during interglacial periods when sea level was higher than at present.

Unique habitats are found on alvars, extremely level expanses of limestone with thin soil mantles.

raised above sea level about 30 meters, and is now a dolomite limestone outcrop which was eroded in classic karst style into pinnacles up to 20 meters high.

To at least a depth of 55 meters below sea level, the limestone has been dissolved forming cavities, sinkholes and caves.

Buada Lagoon was formed by solution of the limestone when the sea level was lower, followed by collapse.

The southern islands are limestone, with level terraces and fringing coral reefs.

The southern islands are limestone, with level terraces and fringing coral reefs.

It now amounts to only a chain of limestone shoals remaining above sea level.

The geology and landscape are varied: igneous and metamorphic rocks, sandstone and limestone ; mountains up to above sea level ; broad valleys such as the Arava, and seashore on the Gulf of Aqaba.

4 ) Eocene limestone covering most of the island, the central region of which, known as “ Jabal Dukhār “ Mountain of Smoke ”, rises to a point 439 feet above sea level.

It is confined to acidic soils, and does not tolerate limestone or sandy Florida soil, and grows at low altitudes from sea level up to 350 m. The specific name palustris means " of swamps ".

Where the bottom is rising, fringing reefs can grow around the coast, but coral raised above sea level dies and becomes white limestone.

The limestone of the area was formed from coral and marine creatures 200 million years ago and again 20 million years ago when the land was below sea level.

The flood level can be clearly seen on the walls where the abrasive action of the floodwaters on the limestone has scoured the surface white.

The routes are scattered all around the side of Batu Caves, which is made up of limestone hills rising to 150 m. These climbing routes are easily accessed as most crags start from ground level.

According to some old timers in Northport the rich chimney is still at the quarry buried under tons of limestone located on the second level.

The Fens are very low-lying compared with the chalk and limestone uplands that surround them – in most places no more than 10 m above sea level.

The summit level was losing around 1. 1 million gallons per day ( 5 Mld ), largely because the underlying rock was porous limestone, and it was estimated that around half of the daily requirement could actually be supplied.
