Which is more permeable silt or sand?
sand
What layers are permeable loose soil sand gravel hard clay solid rock?
I is Soil. Because of the cracks and spaces.
Is sand more permeable than clay?
Yes, sand is more permeable than clay since sand contains bigger particles and bigger particles equal greater permeability.
What is the most permeable rock?
Sand. The ability of water to flow through a soil is referred to as the soil's permeability (A) Clay (B) Loam (C) Sand (D) Silt (E) Humu
What is more permeable sand or clay?
Sand is far and away more permeable than clay. Water poured into sand disappears in moments. Clay layers in the earth can effectively block the penetration of moisture. Big time.

Does sand absorb more heat sand or soil?
Though sand and soil have the same specific heat, sand absorbs more heat.
What is meant by permeable soil?
Porosity determines the permeability of a soil, and this is the volume of water a soil can hold. This number, however, can vary depending on the type of soil (clay, sand, silt, loam, etc.)
Why plants grow best in soil why not in sand?
because soil has more nutrients in it which is better than in the sand
What is most Permeable clay soil gravel or sand?
gravel, permeable is the ability of water to pass through the empty spaces. clay would be the least permeable, it does now have lots of pores or open voids for the water to go through. remember, as porosity increases, permeability increases.
Which soil will allow more water to percolate sandy soil or clayey soil why?
Sand is highly permeable to water; water flows through it easily. Clay is relatively waterproof, and water flows through it with great difficulty. This is because of the relative size of sand particles as compared to clay particles. Clay particles are extremely tiny, and therefore have much smaller gaps between them when they are packed together.
