Because when soil met water, it will become saturated at the top layer. As the progress keep repeating, it will flow down the hill (if the soil creep is occurred on a hill). The soil will be natural falling, it doesn't need force or being force to move down the hill.

What is albido?

Albido is the rate at which heat is reflected back into the atmosphere. A high albido happens with light colours for example grass, whilst a low albido occurs with dark colours such as tarmac. Therefore high albido occurs in the countryside and low albido in the cities.


What type of soil has low permeability and poor crop-growing potential and high nutrient-holding capacity?

Clay soils.


Why does Atherosclerosis occur in arteries and not in veins?

Atherosclerosis occurs when LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins) get oxidized. Since the plasma in the arteries contains plenty of oxygen to oxidize the LDL's it occurs mostly in arteries. In the veins, there is little oxygen to be found, so it is much more likely to happen in the arteries for that reason.


Why do soil absorb more water than sand?

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.


Name a location where you could take a photograph showing water as a solid liquid and gas?

In a chemistry lab where conditions are controled. This state is called the triple point and occurs at .006atm and .01 degrees celcius. This is where water boils because the pressure is so low but also freezes because the temperature is so low. It is a "boiling glass of ice water"

Are flows turbulent or laminar?

Flows can be either turbulent or laminar, depending on the velocity and viscosity of the fluid. Laminar flow occurs at low velocities and is smooth and orderly, with layers of fluid moving in parallel without mixing. Turbulent flow occurs at higher velocities and is chaotic, with swirling vortices and mixing of fluid layers.


What is soil slump?

This is one of the two types of mass wasting that you are likely to see evidence of on a regular basis (the other is soil creep). Soil slump is a common problem especially where slopes have been oversteepened or vegetation is disturbed on a hillside. Some soil slumps are large enough to cause significant property damage. Loss of life though is characteristically low, as this is not an especially fast type of movement.


What is the lift coefficient of a cylinder?

It depends on the Reduced Velocity and amplitude of oscillation. Lift Coefficient could be as high as 1.0, and as low as -10.0 at very low reduced velocities.

Low soil temperatures and little rain cause soil formation to occur slowly. Because of the temperature decomposition of plants and animals occurs slowly or stops limiting the amount of humus in the so?

Low soil temperatures slow down microbial activity, reducing the breakdown of organic matter and thus the production of humus. Likewise, limited rain restricts the leaching of nutrients that are necessary for humus formation. As a result, soil formation is delayed or halted under these conditions, impacting the overall fertility and health of the soil.


An example of low permeability soil?

Clay soil is an example of low permeability soil. It has tiny particles that are closely packed together, which makes it difficult for water to pass through. This can lead to poor drainage and waterlogging in the soil.


Which soil has low humus content?

black


What environmental conditions are conductive to gutation?

Gutation occurs when there is high humidity levels in the air and moderate soil moisture. This process is more common during the night when temperatures are cooler and transpiration rates are low.


What kind of soil does the Desert Savannah have?

The Desert Savannah typically has sandy and rocky soil with low fertility. This soil type is well-drained and has a low water-holding capacity, which can make it challenging for plants to thrive in this environment.
