Adhesion of wet soil refers to the ability of wet soil particles to stick or adhere to each other and to other surfaces. This adhesion is due to the presence of water films that create attractive forces between soil particles and between soil particles and other materials, leading to cohesion and stability in the soil structure.

Why isn't soil picked up when the exposed land is wet?

Soil isn't picked up when the exposed land is wet primarily due to its increased cohesion and adhesion. When soil is wet, water fills the spaces between soil particles, creating a sort of "glue" that binds them together, making it harder for wind or water to erode it. Additionally, wet soil tends to be heavier, which further reduces its susceptibility to being displaced.

Why is dry soil better than wet soil?

Dry soil is better than wet soil for planting because wet soil can lead to root rot and suffocation of plant roots. Dry soil allows for better aeration, root growth, and nutrient uptake by plants. Overly wet soil can also promote the growth of fungal diseases and attract pests.
