How do roots help make soil?
When water gets into the soil, it pours into pores. Pores are spaces in the soil that come in different sizes. The bigger the pore, the more water it holds.
Why is then loam soil the best soil?
Because there is an equilibrium between large pores and small pores. That results in equilibrium between water adsorbed and air capacity
Through what part of the soil does water flow?
pores
Are the pores of the soil totally filled with water in the unsaturated zone?
true
How does the porosity vary with the amount of clay in the soil?
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.
What is water contained in pores of soil or rock?
Water contained in pores of soil or rock is groundwater..

How is soil water and ground water the same?
Soil water is water suspended in soil, groundwateris water collected inside the pores of rock formations.
What is the common substance in soil which allows air into the soil?
No special substances; for the soil aeration are important: soil density, soil porosity, dimensional distribution of pores, granulation, humidity, the presence of the worm Lumbricus terrestris.
Is it true or false that In the unsaturated zone the pores of the soil are totally filled with water?
False
What is the layer of rocks and soil with pores that contain air as well as water called?
Saturated Zone .
Where is groundwater found below the surface of the earth?
in pores or holes in the soil and the underlying rock layers
How would you define what is groundwater?
water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock :]-LLC
