Soil structure, or soil texture. The main mineral components of soil are particles of sand, silt, and clay. The soil texture triangle illustrates the various soil types according to the proportion of sand, silt, and clay particles in the sample.

soil texture


What units of time are based on earths motion relative to others celestial objects the year is best defined as earth motion relative to the?

Years are defined as the amount of time it takes to go all the way around our sun.


Sandstone differs from limestone based on particle size How is their point of origin different?

Limestone is formed from particles derived from organic processes, usually in a marine environment. Sandstone particles are derived from the weathering and erosion of silicate bearing rocks, normally.


Are only sedimentary rocks used for relative age determination?

No, igneous rocks can be used in this way based on the fact that an igneous intrusion will be younger than the material through which it passes. This is part of the principle of cross cutting relationships.


Define relative humidity?

Water can "dissolve" in air. As the temperature and pressure of air goes up, the amount of water that can be held in the air increases. We can measure the "absolute" humidity of air, but this isn't especially useful. It is more handy to know hoe much water is IN the air, as a percentage of the amount of water the air COULD hold. That's "relative humidity". It is important because as the temperature rises, the air COULD hold more water, so the relative humidity falls. As the temperature falls, the relative humidity rises. As the air cools, when the air couldn't possibly hold any more water than it has now, the relative humidity is 100%, and we call this the "dew point", when dew will begin to settle onto the grass. If the air gets much colder, the water will condense out of the air and form FOG.

What happens to light particles in a solution?

Depending upon the solution, the light waves may be refracted or reflected. However, if you are asking about low mass/low density particles, in general they will tend to accumulate towards the top of the solution based upon relative differences in density.

It's called a centrifuge; it spins to separate them based on densities.
