600-800 pounds dry, wet double that
Weigh a certain amount of soil, then dry it (e.g. in an oven), and weigh it again. If it weighs less after drying, then it had water in it at the beginning.
A yard of dry gravel weighs more than a yard of dry sand. One yard of dry gravel is equal to 2970lbs/cu. yd while one yard of dry sand weighs 2619lbs/cu. yd
It depends if it is wet or dry.
the climate and soil in much of the south of the south have resulted in vegetation that is
dry soil
600-800 pounds dry, wet double that
Exactly how much more it weighs will depend on how wet it is.
If dry, it will weigh approximately 2000 lbs. If wet , approximately 2800 lbs. If dry, it will weigh approximately 2000 lbs. If wet , approximately 2800 lbs.
It is difficult to answer this without knowing what the cubic yard contains. A ballpark estimation would be one of the most common consumer purchases of something delivered by the cubic yard, top soil. A relatively dry, screened, cubic yard of top soil will weigh approximately 2400 lbs. For our friends in the rest of the world, 2400 lb = 1088.621 kg (or 1.08862 mt).

Approximately 10 yards; but it depends on the weight of the topsoil, whether it is moist or dry.
The water content of soil is expressed as a percentage, i.e. the percentage of the soil that is water. To calculate, weigh the mass of a sample of soil. Let this be W. Then dry the soil in an oven (be careful not to burn it) and weigh the dry soil. Let this be D. The soil moisture content, M = W-D/W x 100.

None, since there can be no conversion.A pound is a measure of mass. A cubic yard is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
Topsoil is NEVER sold by the "truck-load". Usually in yards or tons, as there are several differant sizes of trucks... A "yard" of dry topsoil should weigh a little less than 1 ton.
depends on the soil composition. the more sand the heavier it is, the more silt the lighter it is < that doesn't help
