Adobe is mud brick, so it is not useful in parts of the world where it rains a lot.

However, it can be made more useful by thatching over the roofs, so that the mud never gets wet.

The difference between adobe and brick is that adobe is sun-dried, whereas a brick is kiln fired at a very high temperature. When this happens, the clay changes and will not soften again if the brick gets wet.

Clay is the material we use to make china and pottery. The video shows how this is done.
