What is the size of soil particles known as?
Soil texture
What is the property of soil that refers to the size of soil particles?
granulation
Why is the size of rock particles important to soil structure?
The size of rock particles are important to soil structure because the larger particles of sand allow rainwater to drain quickly through the soil, while the smaller particles of clay prevent rapid drainage.
Which of the following has the greatest effect on the ability of soil to hold water?
A. age of soil B. size of soil particles C. the color of the soil D. the luster of the soil particles
What Soil quality based on the relative size of soil particles is called?
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.

What is soil quality based on the proportion of different size soil particles?
soil texture
Why is the size of rock particles important to soil structure?
The size of rock particles are important to soil structure because the larger particles of sand allow rainwater to drain quickly through the soil, while the smaller particles of clay prevent rapid drainage.
Which of the following has the greatest effect on the ability of soil to hold water?
A. age of soil B. size of soil particles C. the color of the soil D. the luster of the soil particles
How does the size of rock particles in soil affect the amount of water it can hold?
the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....

The soil with the greatest porosity would have?
round particles of the same size.
What are the greatest effect on the ability of soil to hold water?
Either the age, size color, or the luster of the soil particles.
Does soil have a larger particle size than gravel?
No, gravel has the larger particles.
How does soil particles size affect soil?
soil particle designate the nomenclature of soil such as gravel, sand, silt & clay and further its engineering properties The size and shape of soil particles determine the way they settle and stack, and this arrangement affects soil drainage, the mix of microorganisms that can live in the soil, and the types of plants that can grow there. Coarse soil particles like sand tend to stack like marbles at the top of the soil horizon, while finer soil particles like the flat, pancake-shaped particles of clay settle into a dense layer deeper in the soil profile. Blocky silt particles settle in between, although they can sometimes form hard surface crusts that make water run off, instead of filtering down into the soil.
What particles are in soil?
particles are of soil so there is no particle in the soil ANSWER: Rock and mineral particles are found in soil.
