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
How do particles in solutions differ from those in suspension?
The dispersed particles of a suspension are larger than the particles of a colloid.
What is silt soil?
silt soil is smaller than sand but larger than clay
Does gravel absorb more water than soil?
Gravel does not absorb water as much as soil. Gravel has larger pore spaces and lacks the fine particles that help retain water, so water tends to flow through gravel more easily. Soil, on the other hand, has small pores that can hold and retain water.
Why does sand work better than soil at filtration?
sand works better as it has tiny grain particles which make sand easy to pour, whereas soil has is much thicker than sand.
Does soil have a larger particle size than gravel?
No, gravel has the larger particles.
What is a type of sediment of which the particles are larger than clay but finer than sand?
The mineral component of soil texture is comprised of three types: sand is the largest, silt is next, and clay is the smallest. Soil also contains varying amounts of organic matter, flora and fauna.
Mixtures whose particles are smaller than those in heterogeneous mixtures and larger than those in solutions are called what?
elements

Whether peat soil is soft soil?
silt soil is smaller than sand but larger than clay
What particles which are slightly larger than clay particles make up siltstone?
Silt a particle slightly is larger than clay. Also, hence the name.
Are the particles in a suspension larger than the particles of a solution but are yet to small to be easily seen?
Particles in a suspension are larger than the particles of a solution, but they are not always so small that they cannot be easily seen with the eye.
What is biggest sand or silt?
Sand particles are much larger than silt particles.
What is a hetrogeneous mixture?
A heterogeneous mixture is a physical combination of substances where the individual components can be distinguished from one another. Examples include a salad, trail mix, or a mixture of oil and water.
Name the sediment that has particles that are larger than clay but finer than sand?
silt
