What is the average soil depth in a deciduous forest?
20 feet
How does soil vary from depth?

Why does the pressure increase under soil?
Soil pressure increases with depth due to the overburden or self-weight of the soil and also due to loads imposed upon the soil. For example, the pressure variation below the depth of soil is linear and the relation is given by pressure = unit wt * depth. As depth increases, there will be a linear increase in the soil pressure.
What is the definition of soil stratification?
Variation of soil composition with depth
What is the approximate depth of the crust?
Oceanic crust is roughly 4 miles in average depth. Continental crust is on average 25-30 miles in depth.
What is the average soil depth in a deciduous forest?
20 feet
How much soil is in a rainforest?
That depends on the amount of area and the average rooting depth in the rainforest. Multiply the area by the average rooting depth, and you'll have your answer in terms of volume.

What is the relationship between the average precipitation amounts and the depth of the topsoil?
The relation ship between average precipitation and the depth of the soil is the moister and the water vapor water evaporates and one is a solid and the other is a solid.
What is the difference between depth and thickness?
The depth is how deep the soil is and the thickness is the lkayer of the soil that is covered with how much the soil covering it

A deep soil has to have a depth of how many inches?
A deep soil has to have a depth of 6 to 8 inches. Soils is what is on the ground.
What is the definition of soil stratification?
Variation of soil composition with depth
Does the soil porosity increase as the depth increases?
Bulk density generally increases with soil depth due to increasing pressure from the soil column above. Porosity is inversely related to bulk density, thus porosity should decrease as soil depth increases.
What is the minimum depth that the soil stakes have to be driven into the soil?
36 inches
Average depth of southern ocean?
