What are the air pockets found in soil called?
Pore Spaces
Does sand help soil from getting packed down?
Sand helps aerate (introduce air into and leave pockets for air) into soil.
Why does soil float in water?
Soil typically doesn't float in water; instead, it tends to sink. The buoyancy of an object in water is influenced by its density. If soil particles are denser than water, they will sink. However, if there are pockets of air or organic matter in the soil, they might trap enough air to make the soil appear buoyant temporarily.

Why soil deforms under stresses?
Soil is not a solid like concrete, it has air pockets and some soils have more. By stressing or compressing the soil, you are removing the air and are bringing the particles closer together.
How does absorbent happen?
The fluid goes inside the air holes/pockets in the soil/sponge/material.
Does air contains soil and water?
Yes. Porous soil contains more air spaces between the particles, which is needed by burrowing animals such as worms. Water tends to fill these spaces, but even wet soil and sand may contain small air pockets.
Why is given volume of good soil less dense than the same volume rock?
Because it is aerated - that is, it has pockets of air in it.

How is an earthworm adapted to survive?
It eats remains like animal waste, apple core, and other bio-degradable things. The leave waste that is soil. The live off of small air pockets in the soil.
Do woodpeckers have air pockets in their brains?
No woodpeckers have air pockets in there noses/snouts.... hope this helped! -Max
Would plants grow better in potting soil or sandy soil?
The best type of soil for agricultural purposes is loam. Loam soil has rock particles of many different sizes. This results in many pockets that can hold air or water, which keeps the soil loose enough that plants can grow into it easily.
How does an egg decompose?
eggs have little air pockets that make it stay good when the air pockets loose air it starts to rot
Can you get air pockets in swimming pool water?
