Best Answer

The average specific gravity of naturally occurring soils is 2.65 (equivalent to 2.65g/cm3). If you have a pile of soil, it won't be packed to zero air voids, so figure a void ratio of 0.65. That makes your cubic meter of soil weigh about 1722 kg.

Its about the same as one cubic meter of Gravy granules (unmixed but a little damp) or three tea spoons of antimatter.

Basically several thousand tonnes.

Thanks.

It depends on the mineral contents. Also, kilograms do not apply to weight, they apply to mass.

It varies depending on soil type and moisture content, but one ton per yard is a reasonable average.
