soil is affected more by sunlight due to it holding a higher water content.
Sand gets hotter in sunlight.
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.
air, soil, sand, sunlight and water.
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.
Though sand and soil have the same specific heat, sand absorbs more heat.
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.
it absorbs more heat from sunlight than water because soil is looser which lets more sunlight in
Fine sand is more permeable.
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.
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.
because soil has more nutrients in it which is better than in the sand
Plants and animals are the biotic (living) factors and soil, sand, gravel, rocks and water are abiotic (nonliving) factors.
