no soil absorbs more
Growing grass can stop erosion. The roots of the grass makes the soil stay so wind and water cant make it move.
The thick mass of grass and soil is called the topsoil
Soil is much softer, has a rigid surface, and is made up of much smaller pieces than sand is, this lets the water get caught in the tiny spaces in the soil much easier due to surface tension. Sand on the other hand is hard, each grain has a slick surface, and is larger than soil, this makes it hard for water to get caught in the spaces because the spaces are too large.
The things that absorb light are leaf litter and similar organic stuff. that means that there is more chance that light can be absorbed by organic dominated soil rather than rock or sand. If you remember that soil itself is a combination of rock and organic matter it is easier to remember the answer to your question.
Compactness with the free space of the soil differs the water that it can hold.For example: in Sand, it has free space but there is no compactness so it just does not get stored in the sandy soil but in a Clay, it has compactness but no good free space so, it takes time to intake water while Lacustrine and other loamy soil can absorb the water and store it very fast manner with compactness to hold the water as well as the free space for the water to be placed.
Darker surfaces like soil absorb more than lighter ones like grass do.
because sandy soil can absorb water only at a limit
yes
Soil absorbs more light than water does. Water is transparent, so light passes through it. Soil is opaque.
about how do soil and water compare in their ability to absorb and release heat
Its likely known that almost all plants absorb water from the soil
clay soil can absorb more of nutrients and water as compared to loamy soil.......
it absorbs more heat from sunlight than water because soil is looser which lets more sunlight in
The roots of plants is what which helps the plants to absorb water and other nutrients from soil.
because of more organic material mixed in garden soil which absorb and hold water as compare to road side soil.
Mosses and liverworts absorb water from the soil through the process of osmosis.
Gravel does not absorb water as much as soil. Gravel has larger pore spaces and lacks the fine particles that help retain water, so water tends to flow through gravel more easily. Soil, on the other hand, has small pores that can hold and retain water.
