The amount of moisture air can hold increases as the temperature of the air gets?
warmer
Will sand hold heat?
Sand is not as good a conductor as something more solid like glass because it is composed of tiny granules that are separated by air. If you were to sit a hot pot in a hole made into some sand, the sand would help the pot to maintain its heat for longer than if the pot were sitting on top of the ground.
If air cools what happens to the amount of moisture that the air can hold?
It decreases. As air cools, mist, then clouds, then rain / snow forms... as the moisture is displaced.
Why might you think that sand is a liquid?
You would only think that if you were talking about large amounts of sand on grain of sand is not a liquid however a-ton of sand doesn't hold any defined shape. Liquids don't have a defined shape but does have mass. Solids have mass and a defined shape. Gasses have no shape nor mass.
What air holds more moisture?
Warmer temperatures hold more water.
Maximum bulking in sand and in what moisture content?
The maximum bulking of sand is in 13% to 14% moisture content. It's likely to be 13.8% moisture content.
Is sand good for house plants?
Yes... I put white high desert play sand as a top layer on all my indoor plant it not only look great, it hold moisture much longer
Why do i have sand in your yard and not grass in south Georgia?
You do not have grass because you have sand. Sand does not contain much in the way of nutrients for plants to grow in. And it does not hold moisture well and water drains through it. You will need some good top soil to get grass to grow.
What do you mean by Bulking of sand?
Bulking of sand means increase in it's volume due to presence of surface moisture . The volume increases with increase in moisture content . The volume may increase up to 20 to 40% when moisture content is 5 to 10 %.Due to moisture in each particle of sand, sand gets a coating of water due to surface tension which keeps the particles apart. This causes an increment in volume of sand known as Bulking.
What type of air hold moisture best?
The warmer the air, the more moisture it can hold. This is an exponential relationship.
Which soil type is better thick gooey clay or sand and why?
I think sand is better. Because you can always add organic material to sand to make it hold moisture and be more fertile. Thick clay needs to be broken up by the addition of something, like sand, to make it more porous and free draining this is harder to do than to add organic material to sand.
Can sand hold little water?

Why does sand not grow things well?
Sand lacks the ability to retain moisture needed for seed growth.
What is the typical moisture content of dry silica sand?
0.08%
Do plants grow more faster in dirt or sand?
Depending on the size of the grain of sand, sand is best. It holds more moisture then dirt does.
What hold heat longer the sand or water?
sand
