Soil mechanics is a discipline in which application of laws of mechanics and fluid mechanics are applied where as in mechanics laws of physics are applied
This depends on the type and water content of the soil, but usually it is less than 45 cm.
The Specific Gravity (Gs) is needed for various calculations purposes in Soil Mechanics, e.g. void ratio, density, and unit weight. For Sandy soil, i.e. soils mostly made of quartz, Gs can be accurately estimated to be about 2.65, whereas for silty and clayey soils, it may vary from 2.6 to 2.9.
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
Definitely not an immigration question, but fallow fields are those that are left dormant between planting seasons in order to allow the soil to regenerate its mineral base. In general terms fallow means a field where nothing in growing.
6-9Mg of soil in one ha (assuming 1m depth). This variation/range is based on the bulk density; hence, the soil type.
Soil Mechanics like fluids mechanics and structural mechanics and engineering surveying are the core disciplines of civil engineering for well over 70 years from the days of Terzaghi, father of soil mechanics. It is a separate discipline since soil behaviour cannot be predicted like the methods used for testing the behaviour of structures and fluids,yet ideas similar to these disciplines have been used but the testing and classification of soil had to be on its own. Now the discipline has a broad base to be known as geotechnics or geotechnical 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.

in order to separate soil from a soil water mixture, we need to boil it, so it will separate both the soil and water will evaporate.
