why is clay ideal for pottery
Answers
Explanation:
Because Clay has the ability to be molded into different sort of shapes and structures when water is mixed to it.
The clayey soil's intermolecular space is low and it can get sticky when come in contact with water or get wet. As evaporation takes place the pots made up of clayey soil can keep the water cool inside.
People have been making items from clay for almost as long as they’ve been on earth. A mixture of soil, minerals, and water, clay is malleable when damp, but when it is fired, water is driven out and the clay becomes hard and waterproof. Clay vessels (ceramics) may be washed and reused; they are great for serving foods and holding liquids. The clay’s soil and mineral content determines its color and firing temperature. High-fire clays are usually better for throwing on the wheel. Low-fire clays are usually easy to work and have minimal shrinking; they are ideal for hand building, slab structures, and sculptures but also can be thrown.
