Electrical current and ions can cause certain molecules (and moisture) to adhere to soil. Large amounts of current, such as a lightning strike, can fuse particles of soil into a crystalline structure, somewhat like glass.

Will soil conduct electricity?
no
How does a moisture sensor work?
A moisture sensor estimates the amount of water in the soil that is being tested. It works by measuring the soil's ability to conduct electricity, higher moisture means more conducting power.
Does soil absorb radiation better than water?
Water absorbs and conducts radiation better. ex. electricity is a form of radiation this is false because water will take longer to absorb heat than soil but when the source of heat is gone the water will insulate more heat than the soil, therefore the water will keep heat longer than soil but the soil will heat up faster.
What are the main soil types in India?
Alluvial soil Black soil (regur soil) Red soil Mountain Soil Desert soil
What is sub soil and top soil?
Top soil is soil on the very top of the earths crust and is the soil we walk on. Sub soil is the soil tha is under top soil
Will soil conduct electricity?
no
How the types of soil conducts electricity?
Absolutely no type of soil is a good conductor of electricity. This is because soil contains silicate minerals and silicate minerals do not conduct very well.
What bacteria in the soil is responsible for electricity?
none
How can produce electricity from soil?
Ask a terrorist.
Can a compost soil conduct electricity?
Yes, compost soil can conduct electricity. The condition of electricity draws upon ions and nutrients. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter such as compost and humus have both.
Is soil a good conductor of electricity?
That depends on your soil and your definition of "good". Dry soil is probably a very poor conductor. Wet soil can be a pretty good conductor if you have large contact surface areas and dissolved salts in the water.
Does soil or water heat hold heat more effectively?
Electricity holds the most heats
Is their air on the moon?
Yes. There are traces of oxygen in the soil of the Moon, which could be "harvested" using heat and electricity

Is earth a good electricity conductor?
If by 'earth' you mean dirt, then not in general, but it can vary. For example, if you have a good soil mix, you probably won't find a great deal of conductance, but in an iron-rich soil you may get noticeable conductivity. But in answer to your question, generally no.
What are domestic energy choices?
Coal, oil, natural gas (piped or bottled), timber, electricity, solar power, sub soil heat pump, possibly wind though this would come in as electricity. In India they use dried animal dung, but I doubt if that is what you want.
