Chapter 11, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The forms in which clay is found
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The forms of clay are surface clay, shales and fireclay.
Explanation of Solution
The different forms of the clay are surface clay, shales and fireclay.
Surface clay:
They are found near the surface of the earth and are strip-mined. Most of the bricks are made up of surface-mined clay.
Shales:
They are clays which are subjected to high pressure, due to which they become relatively hard.
Fireclay:
They are found at a higher depth and have more uniformity in their physical and chemical properties.
