If the drying is considered “uneven”, for example one part dries faster than the other, the clay might crack. If one clay’s particle sizes are smaller than another’s, it will shrink more. This is because all the small particles are now far apart so they have to cover more space in order to make up for all the missing spots. However, large particles can cover spaces easily since they have less open areas to cover. To conclude, both clays may be similar yet can take different amounts of time to harden due to their

With volume and mass determined, the density formula (d = m/V) was used to determine the densities of each rock and recorded in g/ml.

Brick layers perform a large variety of tasks on a daily basis.
