sand can hold little water true or false?
Sand can hold varying amounts of water depending on factors like particle size and compaction. On average, sand can hold about 20-30% of its volume in water. Fine sand can hold more water than coarse sand due to its higher surface area and pore space.
Many plants will not root in sand as there is little mineral content for nutrition, and little to grasp onto. Some grasses may root, shallowly, but can take hold in a group that is fed water and minerals.
no
no because it cant hold water
Dry sand is dry because it has little or no water in it. Wet sand is wet because it is saturated with water. Wet sand is often found on ocean beaches.
Soil retains water better than sand because it has smaller particles with more surface area to trap and hold onto water molecules. Additionally, soil contains organic matter that can act like a sponge, absorbing and storing water. Sand, on the other hand, has larger particles with less surface area and does not have the same capacity to hold water.
I would think clay because it has more density water would go right through sand :)
In general, water and sand do not have a chemical relationship. Something might happen if the sand grains are partially composed of a mineral that is water soluble. In that case, water will dissolve water soluble material in sand. But that is a physicalactivity and not a chemical one. Water and sand do not react chemically.
Pour water in some wall then get fire and hold click under the water.
10 gallons of sand would do the job nicely.
In Little Alchemy, you can create silicon by combining the elements "sand" and "fire." First, create sand by combining "earth" and "water." Then, mix the sand with fire to produce silicon.
Sand has high porosity, meaning it has many small spaces between its particles where water can be held. The small size of the sand particles and the forces of attraction between water molecules and the sand particles also contribute to its water-holding capacity. Additionally, the irregular shape of sand particles creates more surface area for water to adhere to.
