Resistivity is the opposite of conductivity. The thermal resistivity of soil is the degree to which soil impedes the flow of heat, or insulates against heat.
Soil thermal resistivity is a measure of a soil's ability to resist the flow of heat. It is typically measured in units of degree-celsius per watt (°C·m/W). Lower thermal resistivity values indicate better thermal conductivity of the soil, allowing heat to flow more easily through it.
Yes, thorium is a good conductor of heat and electricity. It has high thermal and electrical conductivity, making it useful in various applications such as in high-temperature environments and in certain types of electronics.
Several factors influence water resistivity. Some of the most important are 1) the concentration of ions in the water; 2) the mobility of the ions in the water (smaller ionic radius ions tend to decrease water resistivity more than larger ionic radius ions); 3) the oxidation state of the ions; and 4) the temperature of the water.
Problem soils include saline soils, sodic soils, acidic soils, and compacted soils. Reclamation methods vary depending on the type of problem soil but can include adding soil amendments like gypsum for sodic soils, lime for acidic soils, and organic matter for compacted soils. Drainage improvement and crop rotation are other common strategies for reclaiming problem soils.
The resistivity of sand can vary widely, but generally ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 ohm-meters. Sandstone typically has a resistivity of around 1 to 100 ohm-meters. Shale generally has a resistivity of 0.1 to 10 ohm-meters.

Thermal conductivity of uranium: 27 W/m.K. Electrical resistivity of uranium: 28.10-8 ohm.m.
It is said to have a low resistance:A low thermal resistivity for heatA low electrical resistivity for electricityA low opacity or high transparicyfor light.
When the temperature is increased, the resistivity of a material typically also increases. This is because at higher temperatures, the thermal vibrations of the atoms in the material increase, leading to more collisions with free electrons, which in turn increase resistance.
Thermal Conductivity is analogous to electrical conductivity. To calculate electrical resistance look-up rho (resistivity). For Copper rho = 1.68�10-8 Ohms-meter Resistance = resistivity (rho) � length/area For thermal conductivity "k" (Watts/m°C) is the coefficient of thermal conduction. Heat transfer (Watts) = k � area/thickness � temperature difference.
