Normally free floating particles and gases such as oxygen, nitrogen etc.
pore space
high porosity
The voids present between the soil particles are called pore space and the size of these pores depends on whether the ore is between the soil particles or between the soil aggregates. In general, in cultivated lands, soil particles do not exist as single grains and therefore, there are only voids within the soil aggregates or peds and voids between the aggregates. As clay particles play a major role in the formation of soil aggregates by way of binding the soil particles, the particles within the aggregates are micro pores and between the aggregates are macro pores. Depending on the amount of clay particles, the proportion of micro to macro pores may vary and in most cases the soils containing more clay particles favour aggregation and thereby the micro pores and total porosity.
Groundwater fills spaces between particles of soil.

pore space
Soil organisms live in the space between the soil particles. i am a science genius!! :P

Sandy soil is well aerated because space between sand particles is quiet large.
Porosity or pore space
Loosely packed spoil has spaces between the particles. These space fill with air and water
In general the larger the pore space (the higher the porosity) the easier it is for water to flow through it (it is more permeable).
Most wind abrasion is caued by larger particles of soil called what
Soil texture is identified on its particles. The particles are classified into 3 groups called soil separates which are the sand, silt, and the clay.
