Question

Can convection takes place in soil If not,Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A: Heat treatment of soil or potting mix involves reaching a target temperature for a specific minimum period of time. In general, lower temperatures require a longer heating time to achieve the same degree of kill of plant pathogens. Moist heat is also more effective than dry heat at any given temperature.

Answer 2

Answer: no  because neither bulk current flows nor significant diffusion of matter can take place. Diffusion of heat takes place in rigid solids, but that is called heat conduction. Convection, additionally may take place in soft solids or mixtures where solid particles can move past each other.
