What else can I help you with?
What type of soil or sand gets hottest in sunlight?
Sand gets hotter in sunlight.
Which get hotter faster sand or soil?
Sand heats up faster than soil because it has a lower heat capacity and thermal conductivity. This means that sand can absorb and retain heat more quickly than soil when exposed to sunlight.
What are the abiotic elements?
air, soil, sand, sunlight and water.
How are plants growth affected from different soil such as sand and gravel?
Different types of soil, has different types of nutrients. So for ex. if gravel has more nutrients it would grow better, than in the sand.
Does sand absorb more heat sand or soil?
Though sand and soil have the same specific heat, sand absorbs more heat.
Would snow covered soil or a beach covered in black sand heat up faster?
The snow-covered soil would likely heat up faster than a beach covered in black sand. This is because snow has a higher albedo (reflectivity) than black sand, which means it reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat. In contrast, black sand absorbs more sunlight and retains heat, making it slower to warm up.
Why does soil absorb more sunlight heat than and water?
it absorbs more heat from sunlight than water because soil is looser which lets more sunlight in
Which is more permeable fine sand course sand or soil?
Fine sand is more permeable.
Why do soil absorb more water than sand?
Soil is much softer, has a rigid surface, and is made up of much smaller pieces than sand is, this lets the water get caught in the tiny spaces in the soil much easier due to surface tension. Sand on the other hand is hard, each grain has a slick surface, and is larger than soil, this makes it hard for water to get caught in the spaces because the spaces are too large.
What are the abiotic factors of the Sahara?
Soil, sand, gravel, rock, water, air and sunlight are all abiotic factors found in the Sahara.Soil, sand, gravel, rock, water, air and sunlight are all abiotic factors found in the Sahara.
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 are non-living parts of the desert?
Plants and animals are the biotic (living) factors and soil, sand, gravel, rocks and water are abiotic (nonliving) factors.
