Does soil absorb radiation better than water?

Water absorbs and conducts radiation better. ex. electricity is a form of radiation this is false because water will take longer to absorb heat than soil but when the source of heat is gone the water will insulate more heat than the soil, therefore the water will keep heat longer than soil but the soil will heat up faster.

Water tends to sink quickly through gravelly soil (classed as quick draining), though not as quickly as through a sandy soil. Any soil between the gravel will absorb and retain some of the water.


Which soil will absorb more water-sandy soil or clayey soil?

Clayey soil will absorb more water than sandy soil. This is because clayey soil has smaller particles with more surface area, allowing it to retain water more effectively than sandy soil, which has larger particles with less surface area.


Do all the soils absorb water to the same extent?

No, different soils have varying abilities to absorb water. Factors such as soil composition, structure, and organic matter content influence how well soil can absorb and retain water. Soil texture, such as sand, silt, and clay content, also plays a role in determining water absorption capacity.


Which substance absorbed more heat water or soil?

Water has a higher specific heat capacity than soil, meaning it can absorb more heat per unit mass. Therefore, water is able to absorb more heat than soil when both substances are exposed to the same amount of energy.

Does plants absorb phosphate from the soil or from water?

The plants absorb minerals from the soil, since it is wet. When the soil is dry, there is no way for plants to absorb anything. That's what rain do, by making the soil wet, so that plants can absorb minerals through their roots.
