What factors control evaporation on a soil surface?
Factors that affect evaporation include temperature, humidity, wind velocity, exposed surface area, porosity of soil, grain size of soil particles, soil water content, matric potential, and sun intensity.
How can crop rotation affect the number of plants that soil can support?
Because depends on how the soil is
How did the glaciers affect the land colonies?
glaciers pushed soil from New England to the middle colonies
How does a tornado affect weathering?
Tornadoes do not cause significant weathering, though they can cause localized soil erosion.
What kind of vegetation is supported by sandy clay loamy silty soil?
Soil texture is only one of the parameters used to determine the kind of crops that can be grown. temperature, humidity , top soil dept and drainage are other very important parameters, When the question is asked "what kind of vegetation is supported" the simple answer is any kind f vegetation. Characterization of soil texture is a very technical science, and the mixing of 4 characteristics seems a frivolous question or an uninformed opinion
What are two things that may affect soil?
what about soil are you asking about? In terms of texture earthworms and organic matter can affect it. In terms of acidity soil particle size and acid rain can affect it.
Explain how soil particle size would affect infiltration during a period of heavy rain?
Size matters
Explain the relationship between particle size and percolation rate?
Smaller particle sizes generally result in faster percolation rates because there is less resistance to the flow of liquids through the smaller spaces between the particles. Larger particles create more void spaces and can slow down the percolation rate as the liquid has to travel through these larger spaces. Therefore, finer particles allow liquid to flow more quickly compared to coarser particles.
What does the texture or particle size of the soil determine?
soil ferility
What does the texture or particle size of soil determine what?
soil ferility
What are 5 factors that affect water application rates to plant requirements and prevention of soil problems?
Soil porosity Soil composition Drainage Size of the plant Type of plant Fertiliser application rates to the plant Seasonality
How do you measure particle size in soil?
with a set of sieves
How does evaporation affect drainage systems in desert areas?
evapoation and soil infiltration.
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.
When soil particle size decreases capillary action?
increases
What soil has the largest particle size?
Silt.
How much slope is needed for proper drainage in lawns?
A two percent (or 1:50) is considered a good slope for the drainage of lawn areas. The type of soil you have will also affect drainage. With a more sandy soil a flatter slope may be fine.
