What type of soil has maximum water holding capacity?
alluvial soil
What soil type does gram need to grow?
Loam soil having good water retention capacity.
Which factors affect buffering capacity of soil?
mineralogy, soil organic matter, soil texture, type of clay, cation exchange capacity, base saturation
What is the ability of a matirial to hold liquid in to a certain extain?
Water holding capacity of soil is just that, the specific ability of a particular type of soil to hold water against the force of gravity. Different types of soils have difference capacities, for example a sand soil had a lower capacity to hold water when compared to a clay soil. The nature of the soil, composition of the soil, amount of organic component and size of the soil particles determine its ability to retain water. Water molecules are held closely to the individual soil particles by forces of cohesion. The maximum amount of water a soil can hold before it is saturated and starts to loose water by gravity is known as "field capacity"
What type of soil can hold least water?
loamy soil
Which type of soil holds the least of water?
surface soil
Which type of soil retains the most water?
Clayey Soil most retain water.
What is the difference and connection between soil mechanics and foundation engineering?
soil mechanics is the science dealing with soil to knowing ,type of soil , bearing capacity of the slackening weakness and strength of the soil and by soil mechanics can we give a recommendation to the designer Foundation engineering is design of foundation of any projects ,building ,factories ,stores ....)the design of foundation type depended on the bearing capacity of the soil of the concerned site of the project.
What affects the amount of water that is soaked into the ground?
Water holding capacity refers to the amount of water held or 'stored' in the soil and which is available for plant growth and use. Water holding capacity is determined by several factors, some of which we can manage by cultural practices while others are beyond our reach. Some of these factors are listed below: a) Organic matter content b) Soil texture c) Water infiltration capacity of the soil d) Depth of the rooting zone e) Soil structure and aggrgation Leckraz KAULLYSING
Which type f soil holds water best?
Clayey soil
What type of soil is hardest to let water through?
Heavy clay soil
Which type of soil holds plenty of water?
Clayey soil hold the most water of all, as sand and chalk. Loamy soil holds water but not as much as clayey.
