What are 5 things that a soil sample will tell you?
Porosity, nitrogen levels, phosphorus level, composition (is it made of clay, sand or silt?), pH level.
Is clay porosity higher than sand porosity?
Yes, clay is more porous than sand. Typical porosity of silt and clay is 35-50% and 33-60%, respectively. Sand has porosity of 20-35%.
A soil sample with large amount of space between the particles will have a?
high porosity
When A dry soil sample has a volume of 500 mL After 400 mL of water are added to the soil the soil becomes saturated with 150 mL of surface water left on top What is the porosity of the soil?
the porosity is 50%
What is the percentage of sand silt and clay in a sample of soil?
depends on the kind of soil, each kind would have different composition, in fact the kind is defined by the percentage of sand,silt and clay it has.

How can porosity be measured?
Porosity is measured by taking a sample of the soil. The sample is then tested to measure the speed of water passing through the soil.
Is clay porosity higher than sand porosity?
Yes, clay is more porous than sand. Typical porosity of silt and clay is 35-50% and 33-60%, respectively. Sand has porosity of 20-35%.

What factors affect porosity?
The larger the particle size, the higher the porosity. Also keep in mind that angular particles have a higher porosity than round particles. *Good way to remember porosity is that the spaces between particles are "pore-like."

What is low porosity and high porosity?
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
You test 4 soil samples soil a feels sticky soil b feels like flour soil c feels gritty soil d feels plastic and sticky which sample has the most silt?
Silt is the only soil separate that feels like flour, so "b" is the sample highest in silt. Stickiness is a property of clay, as is high plasticity. Grittiness is a term used to describe sandy soils.
What is the tagalog meaning of porosity?
Ang kahulugan ng "porosity" sa Tagalog ay "papak" o "bukas-bukas." Ito ay tumutukoy sa dami o kahabaan ng mga butas o espasyo na makikita sa isang bagay tulad ng lupa o kahoy.
