What does the texture or particle size of the soil determine?
soil ferility
What does the texture or particle size of soil determine what?
soil ferility
When soil particle size decreases capillary action?
increases
What soil has the largest particle size?
Silt.
Why soil samples need to be sieve using 2 mm?
Because soil is defined as having a particle size of less than 2 mm
How does soil particle size affect drainage?
The bigger the particle size, the more drainage the soil would have. The smaller the particle sizer, the less drainage the soil would have. ITS EASY

Explain the relationship between particle size and percolation rate?
Percolation is the amount of water that enters soil during a given timeframe. Different soil types have different rates and the size of the particle affect how quickly the water will penetrate the water.
Does soil have a larger particle size than gravel?
No, gravel has the larger particles.
What is the Relationship between particle size and permeability?
As soil particle size increases so does permeability. I am doing Earth Science in 8th grade and 9R in 8th grade

What effects soil?
Porosity of surface soil typically decreases as particle size increases so permeability also decreases.
Explain how soil particle size would affect infiltration during a period of heavy rain?
Size matters
Where can one find more information about particle size distributions?
There are many academic journals which have articles on particle size distributions, such as the Soil Science Society of America Journal. The US Department of Agriculture performs these types of analysis on soil, and publishes the results for the public.
