INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -A kiln is a thermally insulated chamber, a type of oven, that produces temperatures sufficient to complete some process, such as hardening, drying, or chemical changes. Kilns have been used for millennia to turn objects made from clay into pottery, tiles and bricks.

Detailed explanation-2: -kiln, oven for firing, drying, baking, hardening, or burning a substance, particularly clay products but originally also grain and meal. The brick kiln was a major advance in ancient technology because it provided a stronger brick than the primitive sun-dried product.

Detailed explanation-3: -A kiln is a special kind of oven for firing things like pottery and bricks. A ceramic artist might use a kiln once a week to fire the bowls he’s made from clay. Some kilns look more like furnaces than ovens, and they reach temperatures far beyond regular household ovens.

Detailed explanation-4: -A kiln is usually charged (filled with stuff), then heated to fuse the stuff, then cooled, and the stuff removed. A furnace is usually heated first, then charged, then the stuff removed, and the furnace eventually cooled (though not always).

Detailed explanation-5: -Ceramic kilns are used for firing clay objects or vessels to make them hard, durable and impervious to water.
