What is the ability of water to move through soil called?

The ability of water to move through soil is called "percolation." It describes the process of water moving through soil due to gravity or pressure gradients. This movement helps distribute water, nutrients, and pollutants in the soil.


What can move rocks and soil?

Natural forces such as wind, water, and ice can move rocks and soil through processes like erosion. Human activities like construction and mining can also move rocks and soil when heavy machinery is used.


What is soil creep and what thing is important in soil creep?

Soil creep is the gradual downhill movement of soil. The key factor in soil creep is gravity, as it causes soil particles to slowly shift and move downward over time.


Which soil property refers to the ability of water to move from the soils surface to reach plants roots?

Soil property that refers to the ability of water to move from the soil's surface to reach plant roots is known as soil permeability. It indicates how easily water can infiltrate and flow through the soil, influencing plant growth and water drainage.


What cause transported soil?

Soil can be transported by water, wind, ice, or gravity. Water can carry soil particles in rivers or streams, causing erosion and deposition in new locations. Wind can also pick up and move soil particles, especially in arid or exposed areas. Ice can transport soil through processes like glacial movement or frost heave. Gravity can cause soil to move downhill in mass wasting events like landslides.
