Pottery
Clay soil is used in making ceramics, or pottery. When water is added to clay soil, it can be used to create the ceramics.
Other
Soil absorbs decaying matter and provides minerals and other nutrients for plants. It functions as a part of the nitrogen cycle, processing this element into compounds that can be used by plants. Earth's soils are aquifers, extracting bacteria and filtering out impurities as rain and floodwater settles through the layers into caverns of bedrock.
