What refers to a soil's ability to transmit water?
permeability
What is soil's ability to transmit water called?

How do clay soils differ from sandy soils?
The sandy soils let the water pass through but the clay soils hold the water
Porosity is the amount of pore space in soils. Permeability is the ability of water to pass through the soil. Why do some soils have high porosity but low permeability?
Some soils have a large volume of pore space,but the individual pores are too small to allowwater to pass through.
Which soil property refers to the ability of water to move from the soils surface to reach plants roots?
infiltration. haha i got the answer from study island...

What is the ability to transmit heat or energy?
Conductivity

How do you fertilise sandy soil?
You should either fertilize sandy soils with slow release fertilizers, like organic fertilizers, or add nutrients slowly with irrigation water. Sandy soils have less ability to hold nutrients than other soils, and soluble nutrients can leach out very quickly.
How can you increase soils ability to hold water?
In order for soil to increase its ability to hold water it must have a higher amount of clay present in it. The more clay present in the soil, the more water it will hold. The opposite to this is how sandy or grainy the soil is, if it is too sandy then it will not hold water very well.
Do soil types vary in their ability to hold water?
Clay has the ability to absorb water the best Silt loam, tend to have the greatest available water holding capacity. Ref - http://www.soil.ncsu.edu/publications/Soilfacts/AG-439-77W.pdf
The ability or power to transmit heat electricity or sound?
conductivity
What is a measure of an object's ability to transmit electricity.?
Resistance (or impedance).
What causes salination?
- natural salinity of soils - soils pollution by human activities - irrigation - exaggerated evaporation of water from soils
