Can you use soil texture in a sentence?
soil texture deterimines how much water soil can hold
What characteristics of soil determine how much water soils can hold?
For 1 cm of water there is 28.7% sand
Why do some soils hold more water than others?
yes, indrictly. the weight of the soil is a function of its composition meaning the percentage of: sand, silt, clay. the composition determines how much water it can hold. roughly the more clay it has the more water it can hold but at the same time it slows the rate of water absurbsion
What is soil permeability?
soil permeability is the amount of water soil can hold
Does clay hold too much water or less water?
clay holds too much water therefore plants die in it use potting soil.

Would water soaked soil hold more water if it were to rain versus if the soil was dry?
It may seem that dry soil can hold more water but that's not the case. If it is the same soil used in two different tests, then wet or dry, the soil will hold the same amount of water. The water soaked soil would appear to hold less water because it is already absorbing it's capacity (or closer to it), whereas the dry soil will hold just as much but will take more water to reach it's "soaked" point since it is dry and void of moisture.

How does the size of rock particles in soil affect the amount of water it can hold?
the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....
Does the type of soil affect much water it will hold?
Yes because diffrent types of soil have diffrent amounts of density
Why is the potting soil can hold more water?
soil
What is soil permeability?
soil permeability is the amount of water soil can hold
Does clay hold too much water or less water?
