What factors affect infiltration?
Slope angle of ground surfaceHydraulic conductivity of soil (higher this value, greater infiltration)Presence of vegetation cover (presence of vegetation reduces infiltration rate)Density of vegetation cover (sometimes referred to as leaf area index - higher this value, lower infiltration)
How water soaks down to the ground?
Water soaks down to the ground through a process called infiltration. When it rains, the water lands on the surface and then seeps into the soil. The rate of infiltration depends on the type of soil, its porosity, and the presence of any barriers such as rocks or compacted soil. Gravity also plays a role in pulling the water deeper into the ground.
How does soil porosity affect its permeability?
Porosity--the ability of water to move through the soil Permeability--the abiity of roots to reach into the soil Where water goes, roots can follow. If water cannot penetrate the soil, roots won't either.
Clay and solid rock are in porosity?
clay and solid rock has porosity
Is clay porosity higher than sand porosity?
Yes, clay is more porous than sand. Typical porosity of silt and clay is 35-50% and 33-60%, respectively. Sand has porosity of 20-35%.
How does the hair's porosity affect haircolor?
What is porosity ? And how can it affect hair color
How does a deciduous forest affect the river discharge?
Infiltration, Infiltration, Percolation
How does sorting of rock particles affect porosity of rocks?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
How can soil porosity affect plant growth?
u
How do impermeable surfaces affect infiltration?
A rock that has high porosity is not permeable if the pores or fractures are not connected. The larger and better shorted the particles are, the more permeable the rock or sediment tends to be. Because of this characteristic composition, clay is essentially impermeable, which means that water cannot flow through it.
How does urbanization paving etc affect runoff and infiltration in a small previously forested drainage basin?
Infiltration decreases; runnoff increases
What three factors affect a materials porosity?
size and shape are 2 of them
How does evaporation affect drainage systems in desert areas?
evapoation and soil infiltration.
What factors affect infiltration?

How society and science affect each other?
because of its porosity way and science is the best from the wests
What factors affect porosity?
The larger the particle size, the higher the porosity. Also keep in mind that angular particles have a higher porosity than round particles. *Good way to remember porosity is that the spaces between particles are "pore-like."
What is low porosity and high porosity?
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
