Why does soil float in water?
Soil typically doesn't float in water; instead, it tends to sink. The buoyancy of an object in water is influenced by its density. If soil particles are denser than water, they will sink. However, if there are pockets of air or organic matter in the soil, they might trap enough air to make the soil appear buoyant temporarily.
How is the air found in soils different from the air i the atmosphere?
They are different because one is in the air and the others and the other is in soil

What are the pockets that an air sac is divided into called?
alveoli
Is bacteria in air soil and the human body?
Yes it is found in air soil and the human body.
Does air contains soil and water?
Yes. Porous soil contains more air spaces between the particles, which is needed by burrowing animals such as worms. Water tends to fill these spaces, but even wet soil and sand may contain small air pockets.
Is carbon dioxide chemical or mechanical?
another gas found in air, carbon dioxide, also causes chemical, weathering. Carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater and in water that sinks through air pockets in the soil. The result is a weak acid called carbonic acid. Carbonic acid easily weathers rocks such as marble and limestone.
Why is given volume of good soil less dense than the same volume rock?
Because it is aerated - that is, it has pockets of air in it.
Where can nitrogen be found besides the air?
in soil
Where are air and water found in soil?
