1). Why does the air above a field on a hot summer day appear to be shimmering ?

2). What is the difference between the percolation rate and the absorption rate of soil ?

$\large\mapsto\boxed{ \sf \green{Answer}}$

• Duríng a hot day thє aír above the soil appears to be shimmering because of the water vapour that is present in it.
• The soil contains many water molucules that are sandwiched in between the soil particles.
• This water evaporates to form water vapour on a hot summer day.
• The water vapour makes the air appear to be shinning.

2). Percolation rate is the rate at which any fluid penetrates through any porous materials.Absorption is a measure of how much fluid a material is able to retain.

Answer 2

Duríng a hot day thє aír above the soil appears to be shimmering because of the water vapour that is present in it.

The soil contains many water molucules that are sandwiched in between the soil particles.

This water evaporates to form water vapour on a hot summer day.

The water vapour makes the air appear to be shinning.
