Question

Soil is divided into various types on the basis of..
(a) colour
(b) drainage
(c) texture
(d) aeration​

Answer 1

Answer: (c) texture

Explanation: (c) texture is the correct answer of this question.

Sand, silt, and clay are the three main kinds of soil that may be distinguished based on their textures. There are more complex forms of soil, such as loamy sand, sandy clay, silty clay, etc., depending on how much of each of these components are present.

Exture shows how much different-sized particles, including sand, silt, and clay, are present in the soil. The quantity of water and air that soil can store, the ease with which it may be handled, and the speed at which water can enter and travel through soil are all influenced by texture.

First, separate the fine earth*, or all particles less than 2 mm, from bigger particles, such as gravel and stones, to determine the texture of the soil sample. The components of fine earth include sand, silt, and clay.

Answer 2

Answer:

Soil is divided into various types on the basis of texture.

Explanation:

Soil surface is a summation of extents of sand, residue and mud content. Soil surface is an entirely steady trademark that impacts soil biophysical properties. Soil surface is interrelated with the dirt fruitfulness and quality in the long haul. The dirt surface is related with soil porosity, which thusly manages the water holding limit, vaporous dispersion and water development that decides the dirt wellbeing. Accordingly, the vaporous dissemination and water penetration sets off the endurance of microbial propagules and supply of dampness and air for microbial development, shows variety with the dirt surface and, in this manner, influences the dirt CO2 creation in mud topsoil soil ∼50% higher than sandy soil. Soil surface additionally decides the establishing framework and, hence, manages the dirt CO2 efflux. Accordingly, soil with lower water capacity limit, unsaturated pressure driven conductivity and lower fruitfulness have more slow root development in coarser surface than in better surface. Likewise, soil surface additionally decides the degree of root litter decay and its rhizospheric microbial breath, i.e., higher for dirt soil than for sandy topsoil soil (Silver et al., 2005).
