Organic matter can increase the volume of soil as it decomposes, releasing gases that can cause soil expansion. However, the weight of the soil can decrease with the addition of organic matter, as it is lighter than mineral components like sand, silt, and clay. Overall, the impact of organic matter on soil volume and weight will depend on factors such as decomposition rate, soil texture, and environmental conditions.
What else can I help you with?
How does the weight of a magnet affect its strength?
The weight of a magnet does not directly affect its strength. The strength of a magnet is determined by its magnetic material, shape, and how it is magnetized. A heavier magnet may have more material in it, which could potentially make it stronger if the material used has high magnetic properties.
Does a scale measure volume?
No, it is used to find the weight or mass of an object.
How much carbon is in peat?
Peat consists of about 45-60% carbon by weight. This high carbon content is due to the accumulation of partially decomposed organic matter over time in waterlogged conditions.
How is an objects mass measured?
the amount of matter that an object contain the more mass an object has the greater its weight
How do you get the weight of soil in an area?
Estimate the thickness of the soil over the area (test pits will help with this) - measure the average density of the soil (out of the test pits). You then have:- The "area" tiles the "thickness" = the volume of soil. Volume times density = weight.
What is the meaning of volume?
The weight that matter contains
Does volume affect an objects weight?
no, volume is how much of space the object occupies, while wight is how much it is drawn downwards due to gravity for example a balloon has a big volume but little weight while a marble has little volume and big weight
The properties of matter are determined by?
mass, volume, and weight
Using the terms matter mass inertia volume milliliters cubic centimeters weight and gravity create a concept map?
You put mass as the main heading then put milliliters inertia cubic centimeters Weight matter then gravity
What is the weight of tissue and organic matter found at a trophic level?
Biomass
What are 3 general properties of matter?
Mass, volume, and density
Examples of general properties of matter?
mass volume weight
How do you calculate the density of matter?
Volume occupied divided by weight
What is the measure of matter that is weight divided by volume?
None that I know of, but mass divided by volume is density.
What is the amount of matter contained in an object?
Its mass.By weight, the amount of matter an object contains is its mass.By size, the amount of matter an object contains is its volume.
How can you show that you are matter?
You can weigh yourself or calculate your volume through water displacement, as matter is anything that occupies space (your volume) and has mass (your weight).
How can you calculate organic matter content in soil?
The amount of oxidizable organic carbon and the degree of weight loss from sustained temperatures at 680 degrees Fahrenheit (360 degrees Celsius) are ways to calculate the organic matter content in soil. The first-mentioned measure is the Walkley-Black method that employs hazardous chromic acid in soils whose organic matter measures at less than two percent. The second-mentioned measure is the Weight Loss on Ignition method whose weight loss gets correlated with oxidizable organic carbon in soils whose organic matter measures at more than six percent.
