How does particle size affect permeability and porosity and capillarity in aquifers?
Percolation is the amount of water that enters soil during a given timeframe. Different soil types have different rates and the size of the particle affect how quickly the water will penetrate the water.
What is the ability of a cell membrane to allow material to pass through it called?
permeability
What are facts about permeability?
Changes in permeability are changes in the number of compounds that can pass through a membrane. The presence of certain chemicals or radiation can change the permeability of a membrane.
The effects of soil on flora and fauna are called?
different types of soils provide basis for different types of vegetation. The sandy soils of the desert support cactus and thorny bushes while wet, marshy, delatic soils support mangroves and delatic vegetation. the hill slpes with some depth of soil have conical trees.
What is the rate at which liquid passes through the pore spaces of a rock Surplus?
Permeability
Composition porosity permeability particle size are used to describe different types of?
soils
Do clay soils have more permeability than sandy soils?
Sandy soils are much more permeable that clay soils.
Porosity is the amount of pore space in soils. Permeability is the ability of water to pass through the soil. Why do some soils have high porosity but low permeability?
Some soils have a large volume of pore space,but the individual pores are too small to allowwater to pass through.
What is soils ability to transmit water?
I think the word you're looking for is "permeability."
Why do some soils have high porosity but low permeability?
Some soils have a large volume of pore space, but the individual pores are too small to allow water to pass through.
What type of soil has low permeability and poor crop-growing potential and high nutrient-holding capacity?
Clay soils.

Some ponds are designed to increase the amount of water seeping into the ground. These types of ponds will fail to work properly in -?
soils with low permeability
What is the difference between forest and prairie soils?
how do forest soils different from prairie soils
Where do you use furrow irrigation systems?
Furrow is used for row cropingGardens.For soils of low permeability furrow may vary from 20 to 30 cm

What has the author Douglas G Emerson written?
