Soil samples of clay, sand and loam are left in water for a few minutes to settle down. Answer the questions based on this observation
.A. Which soil sample as fine particles?
B .Which soil sample has high water holding capacity?
C. Which soil sample can be used to make pots and Diya's?
D. Which soil sample has more air spaces?
Answers
Answer:
A. Soils with smaller particles (silt and clay) have a larger surface area than those with larger sand particles, and a large surface area allows a soil to hold more water. In other words, a soil with a high percentage of silt and clay particles, which describes fine soil, has a higher water-holding capacity.
B. The water holding capacity is highest in sandy soil clay soil loamy soil or mixture of sand and Loom, so it is highest in clay soil.
C. Clay exhibits plasticity when water is mixed with it and when it is dried, it becomes firm. This property of clayey soil is very useful for pottery. So, clay is used to make things such as pots, toys, and statues.
D. These particles are called sand, silt, or clay, based on their size. Sand is the largest of the mineral particles. Sand particles create large pore spaces that improve aeration. Water flows through the large pore spaces quickly
