The term red beds usually refers to strata of reddish-colored sedimentary rocks such as sandstone, siltstone or shale that were deposited in hot climates under oxidizing conditions.[1] The red color comes from iron oxide in their mineral structure. Although they have been deposited throughout the Phanerozoic, they are most commonly associated with rocks deposited […]
Agate Fossil Beds National Monument is a U.S. National Monument near Harrison, Nebraska. The main feature of the Monument is a valley of the Niobrara River.
The area largely consists of grass-covered plains. Plants on the site include prairie sandreed, blue grama, little bluestem and needle and thread grass, and the wildflowers lupine, spiderwort, western wallflower […]
Portland stone is limestone from the Jurassic period quarried on the Isle of Portland, Dorset. The quarries consist of beds of white-grey limestone separated by chert beds. It has been used extensively throughout the UK, notably in major public buildings in London such as St Paul’s Cathedral and Buckingham Palace. It is also exported […]
A four poster bed is a bed with four vertical columns, one in each corner, that support a tester, or upper (usually rectangular) panel. There are a number of antique four poster beds extant dating to the 16th century and earlier; many of these early beds are highly ornate and are made from oak. […]
The Bembridge Beds are strata forming part of the fluvio-marine series of deposits of Oligocene age, in the Isle of Wight and Hampshire, England. They lie between the Hamstead beds above and the Osborne beds below. The Bembridge marls, freshwater, estuarine and marine clays and marls (70-120 ft.) rest upon the Bembridge limestone, a freshwater […]
Bracklesham Beds, in geology, are a series of clays and marls, with sandy and lignitic beds, in the Middle Eocene of the Hampshire Basin, England.
They are well developed in the Isle of Wight and on the mainland opposite; and receive their name from their occurrence at Bracklesham in Sussex. The thickness of the deposit is […]

Speeton Beds, in English geology, a series of clays well exposed at Speeton, near Filey on the Yorkshire coast.
Peculiar interest attaches to these beds for they are the principal representatives in Britain of the marine phase of the Lower Cretaceous system. The Speeton Clays pass downwards without break into the underlying Kimeridgian; they are capped […]
Double distilled water (abbreviated “ddH2O” or “Bidest. water”) is prepared by double distillation of water. It is used, among other things, when single distillation does not lead to sufficiently pure water for some applications in biochemistry.
Bidest water is used when pure, sterile water is essential. Whereas distilled water is enough for most chemical reactions, […]
The Bovey Beds are a deposit of sands, clays and lignite, 200–300 ft. thick, which lies in a basin extending from Bovey Tracey to Newton Abbot in Devonshire, England. The deposit is evidently the result of the degradation of the neighbouring Dartmoor granite; and it was no doubt laid down in a lake. O. Heer, […]

An adjustable bed (also called a Semi-Fowler bed) can be adjusted to a number of different positions. For individuals with certain types of back problems, sleeping on an adjustable bed that is at a slight incline (”semi-Fowler position“, e.g. 30 to 45 degrees) may be comfortable, with the upper body positioned higher up than the […]
Soft water is the term used to describe types of water that contain few or no calcium or magnesium ions. The term is usually relative to hard water, which does contain significant amounts of such ions.
Soft Water usually comes from peat or igneous rock sources, such as granite but may also derive from sandstone sources, […]

Mesotrophic lakes are lakes with an intermediate level of productivity, greater than oligotrophic lakes, but less than eutrophic lakes. These lakes are commonly clear water lakes and ponds with beds of submerged aquatic plants and medium levels of nutrients.
The term mesotrophic is also applied to terrestrial habitats. Mesotrophic soils have moderate nutrient levels.

In geology, the Purbeckian refers to the highest and youngest member of the Jurassic system of rocks, also known as the Purbeck Beds. Either name is derived from the district known as the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset where the strata are splendidly exposed in the cliffs west of Swanage. The rocks include clays, shales […]
