What charge do clay particles have?
Clay particles have a permanent negative charge.
How do you separate small clay particles and water?
Just ley the water evaporate and the clay particles will be left over
Can Aluminium be extracted from clay?
It is not bauxite or something else i am asking my teacher told that sand and clay particles have aluminum in it but is is not yet known how to extract it
How does particle size effect capillarity?
As long as the spaces between the particles are connected, the smaller the particles, the higher the capillarity. The larger the particles, the lower the capillarity.Particle size and capillarity are inversely, or negatively related.
Which particles contribute to most of the atoms volume and size?
These particles are protons and neutrons.
What is the correct order of sediment size in these materials from smaller particles to bigger particles?
clay,sit,sand
Which size particles does the wind usually skip and bounce for short?
clay and silt
Which size particles does the wind usually skip and bounce for short distances?
clay and silt
Is clay the same as mudstone?
No. Clay is the finest size of particle that can be found in sediment. Mustone is a solid rock formed from particles of clay and silt that have been cemented together.
Why is clay the least permeable soil?
Clay has the smallest particle size. The particles of clay soil pack so closely together that water is prevented from passing through it.
What charge do clay particles have?
Clay particles have a permanent negative charge.
Why is the size of rock particles important to soil structure?
The size of rock particles are important to soil structure because the larger particles of sand allow rainwater to drain quickly through the soil, while the smaller particles of clay prevent rapid drainage.
Which inorganic sedimentary rock has the smallest size sediments?
the smallest particles of sediment are found in clay.
What is the particle size of clastic sedimentary rocks?
Shale is composed of the smallest particles of other rocks.
What are Detritus sedimentary rocks subdivided according to?
Detrital sedimentary are classified according to the size and shape of their sediments.
Why is clay found in rivers?
The reason many rivers contain clay is because clay particles are lighter than the small rocks and pebbles beneath, so the clay particles are deposited on top of the rocks. However clay is not lighter than silt particles, in fact clay is much heavier. Normally the silt would cover the clay, but if the river is fast enough, it may continue to carry away the silt particles, and leave the clay.
What Soil quality based on the relative size of soil particles is called?
Soil structure, or soil texture. The main mineral components of soil are particles of sand, silt, and clay. The soil texture triangle illustrates the various soil types according to the proportion of sand, silt, and clay particles in the sample.
