How do earth worm errich the soil?
Earthworms eat the soil, and excrete what they don't digest - leaving tiny piles of 'worm-poop' in the soil. This breaks down and adds to the general composition of the soil.
How can porosity be measured?
Porosity is measured by taking a sample of the soil. The sample is then tested to measure the speed of water passing through the soil.
How is the soil composition in the A horizon related to the composition or the R horizon?
by the topsoil
When is the best time to collect soil sample?
Samples for what? If you are sampling for the basic test that most extension offices perform, it doesn't matter.
Why is it important to know the composition of soil?
One reason is to grow certain types of plants. For example some plants grow well in acidic soil and other grow well in akalyne based soil. If you plant the wrong plants, they won't grow well, or will die within a year or more.
What is the exact chemical composition of soil?
Soil is composed of mineral particles (sand, silt, and clay), organic matter (decaying plant and animal material), water, and air. The specific composition can vary depending on factors such as location, climate, and plant growth.
Where do you send the soil sample to be analyzed?
You can send the soil sample to a soil testing laboratory, agricultural extension service, or a professional soil testing facility. They will analyze the sample to provide information on the soil's composition, nutrient levels, pH, and other important factors that can help with plant growth and soil management.
What is the general appearance color how loose or compact it is kind of particles and so forth of the original soil sample?
What is the general appearance (color, how loose or compact it is, kind of particles, and so forth) of the original soil sample?
How would this soil sample be described?
To describe a soil sample, one would typically analyze its texture, color, pH level, organic matter content, and nutrient composition. This information can help determine the suitability of the soil for various purposes such as gardening or farming.
What is the general appearance of the soil sample?
The soil sample is dark brown in color with a fine texture. It has a slightly earthy smell and feels slightly moist to the touch. The sample may also contain visible organic matter such as roots or small rocks.
Why is the collected soil sample dried before weighing in soil analysis?
because the hydrogen cells in the H2O will give the soil an unbalance when being wheighed because the hydrogen cells in the H2O will give the soil an unbalance when being wheighed

A typical soil sample is an example of a homogeneous mixture?
No, a typical soil sample is heterogeneous.
What is the percent composition of NaHCO3 in a given sample?
To find the percent composition of NaHCO3 in a sample, you would calculate the mass of NaHCO3 in the sample divided by the total mass of the sample, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Does soil from different places have the smae composition and texture?
no, the soil from different places have different composition
What is the percentage of silt and clay in a sample of sand?
depends on the kind of soil, each kind would have different composition, in fact the kind is defined by the percentage of sand,silt and clay it has.
Is soil a homogeneous mixture?
No, soil is not a homogeneous mixture. It is a heterogeneous mixture composed of various components such as minerals, organic matter, water, and air, which are not evenly distributed throughout.
