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 does silt and sediment mean?
Silt refers to a sediment of a certain size. Sediment can be of any size particle which has been deposited.
What is relationship between particle size and permeability?
As soil particle size increases so does permeability. I am doing Earth Science in 8th grade and 9R in 8th grade
What are three ways strata differ from one another?
The differ based on the kind of sediment that they are composed of, the color of their sediment, and the size of their sediment.
Are all the particles of sediment the same size?
no
How is permeability related to the size of the grains that make up the sediment?
If the size of the sediment is very small then it would have poor permeability But if the size of the sediment was large then it would be easier for liquids to flow through.
How does transport affect the size and shape of sediment?
As the sediment moves, its characteristics change as it is Physically broken down or chemicallyaltered
How does increasing the numerator affect its size?
It increases it.
What doesn't affect the movement of sediment along the shore?
size of sand grains
How does the speed of wind affect sediment?
The higher the wind speed, the bigger the particle size.
What factors affect a river's ability to erode and carry sediment?
The factors that affect a river's ability to erode and carry sediment would be its size, how deep it is, and how fast it is going. If it is going downhill that can also affect it.
What type of soil can retain the greatest amount of water?
Low permeability and Steep slope
How would size of the sediment in the streams load differ in the streams volume increasing or decreasing?
The size of the sediment would decrease further downstream (where there is a greater volume of water) as there is more energy in the flow. Therefore more erosion will occur and the sediment will rub together with other materials i.e other rocks or the river bed (this is called attrition). The sediment will therefore reduce in size but there will be a greater amount of it. (The amount of sediment is called the discharge.)
How does. Increasing the numerator of a fraction affect its size?
It increases it.
How does the permeability of soil and rocks affect the flow of groundwater?
Permeability is when water can pass through different types of soil and rocks. Therefore the permeability affects the soil and rocks because if the soil or rock is PERMEABLE then the groundwater can easily flow through it :)
