that as height increases (keeping the mass constant) the energy stored‚ that is‚ the potential energy increases. So when the ball is released the energy stored inside the ball would get converted to kinetic energy of motion which collides with the clay slab resulting in a crater. Thus increasing the height increases the energy stored in the ball and so when dropped‚ more of the energy would be converted to kinetic energy as a result of which the velocity at which the ball would strike the crater

comparatively easier to manage. Since it absorbs water quickly‚ the plants rooted in it need to be watered frequently. * Clay Soil: Clay soil is also called ‘late’ soil‚ because its wet nature makes it apt for planting seeds in late autumn. The soil serves as an excellent retort for the dry season‚ as it has a high water retention quality. It is necessary to drain clay soil frequently‚ for improving its texture. The soil becomes unmanageable during rainy season‚ as it becomes ‘sticky’. On the

Clay and concrete tiles hold up so well to weather they are usually only replaced for cosmetic reasons or a few replaced due to damage. If you are just wanting a new look‚ your old clay tiles may be sought after by someone else who would like them on their roof. Clay tiles are generally not accepted at traditional recyclers. You may have to get creative or one of the residential roofers in Chicago may have connections to help with the recycling of clay tiles. Landscape Architects

Geologists are interested in soils and weathering processes as indicators of past climatic conditions and in relation to the geologic formation of useful materials ranging from clay to metallic ore deposits. Geologists usually refer to any loose material below the plant growth zone as sediment or unconsolidated material. The term unconsolidated is also confusing to engineers because consolidation specifically refers to the
