Soil permeability is important to plants that lives on land. The space between soil particles are called pore spaces. Water and air filled these spaces. The size of pore spaces and the way in which the pore spaces are connected affect permeability. Because, permeability is the rate which water can pass through a porous material. Soils through which water passes quickly have a high permeability.

∙ 13y agoIt helps determine how much of a substance the object can hold. If it can hold water this can determine how well or poorly the soil of that location is or if it is the porosity of the soil itself it is determining what the soil can handle or not . So overall porosity helps calculate empty spaces and gaps that can be filled to be used for something helpful for the soil or any other solid object.

What is soil permeability?
soil permeability is the amount of water soil can hold
Why is a soils texture important in determining how the soil absorbs water?
The soil texture is important because only its mineral components will help us to know the permeability of water through them which determines the permeability of water in a particular type of soil........so it is important to know abt the texture......
Which soil has greatest permeability?
sandy
What soil has the highest permeability clay sand or silt?
clay and soil
What are the porosity and permeability of Antarctic soil?

How does the permeability of soil and rocks affect the flow of groundwater?
Permeability is when water can pass through different types of soil and rocks. Therefore the permeability affects the soil and rocks because if the soil or rock is PERMEABLE then the groundwater can easily flow through it :)
Which soil has greatest permeability?
sandy
What soil has the highest permeability clay sand or silt?
clay and soil

Why does the tundra soil have a low permeability?
The soil down under it is still frozen.

How does soil porosity affect its permeability?
Porosity--the ability of water to move through the soil Permeability--the abiity of roots to reach into the soil Where water goes, roots can follow. If water cannot penetrate the soil, roots won't either.
What are methods for determining field permeability?
Permeability is a measure of how fast water will flow through connected openings in soil or rock
What is a property of soil that determines how water will soak through the?
Permeability
What refers to a soil's ability to transmit water?
permeability
