This included glacial erratics as well as fine-grained material.
On Itokawa, the researchers showed, the rubble tends to migrate toward several low areas that are filled with fine-grained material.
To produce multi-layered electrodes a fine-grained material was scattered in a mold and smoothed.
This method is appropriate for fine-grained, non-cohesive materials, with individual particle size less than 10 mm.
Both rock types also produce much earthy, fine-grained material when they degrade.
Studies have shown that fine-grained materials and sandy materials can be effective in the construction of an in-situ cap.
These rocks have low to moderate amounts of mineral nutrients but provide enough fine-grained material to form a loamy soil.
Martian dust is generally a fine-grained, iron-rich material.
These rocks are not high in mineral nutrients but provide enough fine-grained material to produce a loamy soil.
The surface contact pads will also collect fine-grained material.
