Question

what happens when the water is poured over the soil. explain. ​

Answer 1

When water is added to soil, it can replace the oxygen that is naturally in the soil, and make the soil darker. This means wetter soil will have less oxygen compared with drier soil. When enough water is added, soil can become saturated and the water will start to form a layer on top of it.

Answer 2

Answer-:

• When the water is poured over the soil, some water gets absorbed by the soil and the rest passes down through it. This process is passing down of water into the soil called as percolation of the water. The percolation rate of water in soil can also be defined as the volume of water in millimeter which passes down to soil per minute. It can be calculated by the formula:-

Formula:-

• Volume of water percolated in soil (in ml)/time taken for percolation (in mins)
