Editing Adobe (section)

==Description==
Adobe bricks are rectangular prisms small enough that they can quickly air dry individually without cracking. They can be subsequently assembled, with the application of adobe mud to bond the individual bricks into a structure.  There is no standard size, with substantial variations over the years and in different regions. In some areas a popular size measured {{convert|8|×|4|×|12|in|cm|abbr=in|order=flip}} weighing about {{convert|25|lb|kg|-1|abbr=in|order=flip}}; in other contexts the size is {{convert|10|×|4|×|14|in|cm|abbr=in|order=flip}} weighing about {{convert|35|lb|kg|round=5|abbr=in|order=flip}}. The maximum sizes can reach up to {{convert|100|lb|kg|abbr=in|order=flip}}; above this weight it becomes difficult to move the pieces, and it is preferred to ram the mud ''[[in situ]]'', resulting in a different typology known as [[rammed earth]].
