Why does the tundra soil have a low permeability?
The soil down under it is still frozen.
What is an accurate description of clay soil?
high porosity, low permeability
Which is an accurate description of silty soil?
moderate porosity, low permeability
What is an accurate description of sandy soil?
moderate porosity, low permeability.
What is soil permeability?
soil permeability is the amount of water soil can hold

Why would a farmer need to know the soil permeability on his land?
It's a way to know how well the soil on his land will retain moisture, and thus determine what crops are good to grow on that soil, or whether the enterprise of raising crops is even worth considering. Soils can be sandy (very high permeability = no water retention), clayey (very low permeability = too much water retention) or loamy (moderate permeability = ideal water retention).
What type of soil has low permeability and poor crop-growing potential and high nutrient-holding capacity?
Clay soils.
What rock is low in porosity and low in permeability?
Most intrusive igneous rock is low in porosity and permeability.
How does the permeability of soil and rocks affect the flow of groundwater?
Permeability is when water can pass through different types of soil and rocks. Therefore the permeability affects the soil and rocks because if the soil or rock is PERMEABLE then the groundwater can easily flow through it :)
Which soil has greatest permeability?
sandy
