Quartz Movement

Would an antique anniversary clock be a good wedding gift from me to my bride since she doesn't like jewelry?

An anniversary clock is one of those glass domed clocks with the rotating pendulums that used to be so ubiquitous in old peoples homes when I was a kid. My parents have one from when they were first married.

It is called an anniversary clock because it only has to be wound once a year... thus, you can always wind it up on your anniversary. The new ones defeat the purpose because they are quartz movement and run on batteries... thus, retardedly, don't need to be wound...

Only if you write out why you wanted her to have it. Be romantic. It's a sure winner!

Soil sustains all life on earth. Unfortunately this vital resource is being depleted rapidly. Mankind must take instant and strong steps to conserve soil.

Soil is made up of organic and mineral matter that sustains plant life and shelters organisms responsible for nutrient cycling

What are the different types of soil?

There are different types of soil. They are as follows:
Clay - This soil is smooth and silky.
Sandy soils - It contains tiny amounts of quartz and silica and less than 10% clay.
Loamy - This soil is a mixture of sand and clay with varying proportions.
Calcareous or chalky soils - This soil may contain limestone or chalk and very little plant food.
Peat soil - This soil is usually found in marshy land and is a source of fuel. It contains more than 20% humus.

Plants and trees hold the soil together. When plants and trees are cut down the soil becomes loose and is carried away by wind and water. When it rains heavily the rainwater cannot penetrate the soil and the rainwater carries the soil particles away. This is known as soil erosion. Common types of erosion are gully erosion, rill erosion, sheet erosion and rain-splash erosion. The Grand Canyon in America was formed by soil erosion. There is more erosion on steep slopes and it also depends on the type of the soil

Some ways to conserve soil are as follows:

So we see that there are a number of simple and effective ways by which we can conserve soil. Only a global and earnest effort can save this life sustaining resource. So do take the necessary steps and fulfill your obligation towards your planet.
