i want to know whether it is because of the american soil or something else and if someone could tell me are clay courts really made of clay ?

Most all clay courts in the United States are played on green clay.  The green clay courts are a little easier to maintain and are easier to prepare after rainy conditions.  Most european clay courts are played on red clay.  Red clay contains crushed brick and is the preferable clay surface for most clay court specialists.

Not that I know of, but it seems like the hard ground would be for, well, really hard ground.  Firm ground seems more all-terrain like you said, as it is saying that it operates in harder ground, but not mud and slush.  Soft ground will kill you, so don't get it.  The ground at our soccer fields was complete trash and was pretty hard, and one kid wore metal spikes (which are for soft ground so they can dig in) one day.  From that day alone, he got shin splints and had to sit out for a week and a half or two.\n\nI suggest the firm ground.

Generally speaking if you mixed the GERU completely with your usual clay, it is coloring.  A top coating would be considered as glazing by most (and for terracotta, the color must extend throughout and not just be on the surface).\n\nMost stoneware is made entirely of Geru clay.  This is part of the expense of making the items.

I doubt ... I have no source proves otherwise though.\nThe source however says it is 45 higher than the pyramid of Khufu and it is made of granite

Yes, soil moisture.\n\nBut how about the degree of ionicity of the soil; wouldnt that depend on the kinds of minerals in the soil (which is likely to vary as well)...\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org

I think you might mean the Clay used at the French open.  The clay for the courts is dug from pits about 20 miles from the open site. Bricks are made from the same clay and baked in a fire pit. They are then crushed to a granular consistency, run thru a strainer that sorts it and it is spread out on the surface of the clay base to provide the  court with a thin layer of grainy top dressing that allows the player of skill to slide the last few feet of their run to the ball.  These same bricks are used to build a perimiter around the court which confines the surface and defines the court.

Have to fight against since the Ten Commandments are banned from "public property"!!!!!!!! You said public property and not courthouse lawn but if one would do some research they are the same!!!! This is supposed to be a trick question but it isn't!!!

Prior to computers, models were created in clay to show what a design may look like when done for real. Being made of clay, they were natually 3 dimensional.  \nWith the advent of compuetrs, the modeling moved to the screen, but was only able to be done in two demensions.\nWith the advent of current 3D capable video cards and software, it is now possible to create compuetr models of a design in three dimensions

Salt is refined from many sources. "Table" salt is defined by salt that has been milled to a powder  - no lumps etc!

It's not just Tennessee; unfortunately we in Kentucky have a similar, and similarly unjustified, reputation. I think it was a rumor started by Yankee jealous because Southerners can pronounce "r" sounds in the middle of words. (ex: New York vs. New Yawk).\n\nBTW, I've been to Nashville, and I saw many shoes of all types there. :)

I think you got jinxed up with this. \nYou see, In ancient times, before Laws were enacted and legislated, all disputes were solved by the King and his Ministers who were addressed as Lords. The disputes were solved as per "JUSTICE, EQUITY AND GOOD CONCIENCE". Hence the Court was called "COURT OF JUSTICE"\n\nNow it is entirely different. Laws are enacted and legislated and are put down on papers. Even the Judges cannot go outside the scope of these laws, even if it fundamentally or morally goes against "JUSTICE AND EQUITY". \nHence, now the Court is called "COURT OF LAW" and NOT Court of Justice.

hard to say. i found lots of things in the desert. my husband is a geologist. if you mail me a picture, i will have him look at it.\nthere is lot of crystal stuff in egyptian deserts, most are worthless unless you enjoy it as decoration in your house. does it has a greenish tone in the bottom of the crystals? i have lots of them. it depends also where you found it. if it was near a roman settlement, it could be ancient glass, but if it scratch glass now, i doubt it. i found lots of this, but not this big of a piece, that would be uncommon. tell me more about it, maybe i can help you.\n\nsend me a picture...susuegypt@hotmail.com

This has to do with the way the earth was formed. Dust particles gathering together and spinning at the same time. Spinning causes things to take spherical shape due to centrifugal force.

As a Mechanical Engineer, as well as a nationally certified Tennis Instructor, I feel very qualified to answer this question.\n\nRacquets made of graphite, whether 100% graphite powder in a ceramic matrix, or woven graphite fibers in a fiberglass matrix, are extremely inflexible and do not lose their resiliency. Therefore, your racquet, if it is indeed made of graphite, can not be blamed for its lack of power.\n\nUnfortunately, without further information, it's impossible to ascertain why your racquet has lost its power.

Hmm...Sound like you are talking about Cahokia mounds.  Small hills built by the Cahokia Indians, believed to be for burial purposes.  \n\nNow here is the tricky part...there is a town in the area named Cahokia...but the mounds are not there.  The mounds are in Fairmont City.

I'm guessing by clay blocks you mean brick masonry fired in a kiln.  They are manufactured with holes in them but that is usually to reduce weight; however, I have seen arch lintels use the holes for reinforcing.\n\nToday's buildings usually use hollow concrete masonry (cinder blocks).  In terms of horizontal reinforcing, these types of blocks are manufactured in what is known as a bond beam.  This allows for horizontal bars to be set in a u-shaped profile which is then grouted.\n\nNot sure if that helps, maybe be more specific?
