Peat is a type of soil that forms in waterlogged areas from partly decayed plants. Peat helps scientists to find out about living things from a long time ago as it preserves plants and animals very well. It takes a very long time to form (about 1mm per year) and so it a precious resource. Other Recommended Aquarium Decorations are our Aquarium Gravel by Pure Water Pebbles ®. Pure Water Pebbles ®aquarium gravel is great for aquariums, ponds, gardens and architectural surfaces. Heat sanitized, hand washed, safe for your fish, and ready to be added to your aquarium.

Some of our soil has in it the dusty remains of stars that have been pulled to Earth by gravity or another force.

Flat boulders are just the kind of massive slabs that are useful in constructing sturdy outdoor steps.If the sediments remain at the place of origin then the formed deposits are known as residual deposits. Some sediments formed by various chemical reactions such as decomposition, precipitation, evaporation, etc. give rise to the formation of chemical deposits. Similarly, the sediments formed by the action of various organisms such as plants and animals are known as Organic deposits. Flamborough Head, Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, YO15 1AR & RSPB Bempton Cliffs, Cliff Lane, Bempton, Bridlington, North Yorkshire, YO15 1JF. Ilkley Moor The inspiration for the unofficial anthem of Yorkshire ‘On Ilkla Moor Baht ‘at’, Ilkley Moor spans 676 acres of green space between Ilkley and Keighley. Sitting at 402 metres above sea level, it offers picture-perfect panoramas of the Yorkshire Dales. Cross the heather-strewn countryside to discover landmarks like The Ilkley Crags and The Twelve Apostles Stone Circle – Yorkshire’s answer to Stonehenge! Spurn Point is simply magnificent. A star attraction off the tip of the coast, it’s a constantly moving peninsula between the Humber Estuary and the North Sea. No two days are ever the same at Spurn Point – you can see Yorkhire’s only tidal island when the tide comes in across the Holderness Coast, or when the tide is out, trek along the 3.5 mile long tip. If you take an early morning trip, you can spot roe, foxes and more. Blatt, Harvey and Robert J. Tracy, Petrology, W.H.Freeman, 2nd ed., 1996, p. 355 ISBN 0-7167-2438-3
