The sego lily adapts to dry sand and hot sun conditions by having a deep root system to access moisture, waxy leaves to reduce water loss through evaporation, and the ability to go dormant during periods of extreme heat or drought. These adaptations help the sego lily survive in arid environments.

Which soil would dry the fastest sand clay or vermiculite?

Sand


The density of wet sand is 120 lbs per cubic foot the density of dry sand is 100 lbs per cubic foot if a truck delivers 135 cubic feet of wet sand back to the coast whats the wt of the water inside?

To find the weight of the water inside the wet sand, we first need to calculate the weight of the wet sand delivered: 135 cubic feet * 120 lbs/cubic foot = 16,200 lbs of wet sand. Next, we find the weight of the dry sand in the wet sand delivered: 135 cubic feet * 100 lbs/cubic foot = 13,500 lbs of dry sand. The weight of the water inside the wet sand is the the difference between the weight of the wet sand and the weight of the dry sand: 16,200 lbs (wet sand) - 13,500 lbs (dry sand) = 2,700 lbs of water.


How does the changing temperature differ for dry damp sand when they are exposed to equal amounts of radiation?

Dry sand will heat up more quickly and to higher temperatures compared to damp sand when exposed to equal amounts of radiation. This is because dry sand has lower heat capacity and thermal conductivity, leading to faster temperature changes. Damp sand has more moisture, which requires energy to evaporate and hinders temperature rise.


Why is damp sand softer than dry sand when a certain amount of water is added to it?

Damp sand contains a thin film of water around each grain, which acts as a lubricant and reduces friction between the particles. This makes the sand more pliable and softer to touch compared to dry sand, which has more interlocking grains and less lubrication between them.

What did Lily use as food by Mormon pioneers?

While traveling, there were very few opportunities for fresh food. Most of the food supplies that were taken on the trail were things that are shelf stable, such as cornmeal, flour, grains (wheat, oats, etc), dry beans, and dried/salted beef or pork. Men hunted for fresh meat when they had the opportunity, women gathered edible plants along the trail when they could be found. In some areas, fruits and vegetables were planted along the trail to be harvested by later groups.


Why does dry sand weigh more than wet sand?

Anyone who has dug a shovelful of wet sand and a shovelful of dry sand will tell you that the wet sand is quite a bit heavier than the dry sand. Dry sand is composed of individual particles with air in the spaces between grains. When you add water to a bucket of dry sand, the water replaces the air. Although the bucket is already full of sand, you can pour in quite a bit of water, adding that much more weight. If you have a choice of which bucket to carry, pick the bucket of dry sand every time!

How much dry sand equals a pound of wet sand?

About 1.2 pounds of dry sand equals 1 pound of wet sand. When sand is wet, it typically weighs more due to the water content.


Does wet sand heat faster than dry sand?

Yes, wet sand heats up faster than dry sand because water has a higher heat capacity than sand. This means that wet sand can absorb more heat energy compared to dry sand before its temperature increases, leading to faster heating.
