The equivalent depth of water in the soil is 270 mm and the volumetric water content of soil is 5625 cubic meter/ 1.5 hectare of soil.

<h3>How can equivalent depth of water in a soil be calculate?</h3>

The equivalent depth of water in a soil is calculated using the formula below:

  • equivalent depth of water = water content × depth of soil

The depth of soil profile 1 = 1 m = 1000 mm

The depth of soil profile 2 = 600 mm

Equivalent depth of water in the soil = 15% × 1000 mm + 20% × 600 mm

Equivalent depth of water in the soil = 150 mm + 120 mm

Equivalent depth of water in the soil = 270 mm of water

The volumetric water content of the soil is calculated using the formula below:

  • Volumetric water content = water content × bulk density of soil/density of water × height of soil

Height of soil profile 1 = 1 m

Height of soil profile 2 = 0.6 m

Volumetric water content of soil profile 1 = 15% × 1300/1000 × 1 m = 0.195 cubic meter/square metre of soil

Volumetric water content of soil profile 1 = 20% × 1500/1000 × 0.6 m = 0.18 cubic meter/square metre of soil

Total Volumetric water content of soil = 0.18 + 0.195 = 0.375 cubic meter/square metre of soil

Converting to cubic meter/hectare of soil:

0.375 cubic meter/square metre of soil

1.5 hectares = 15000 square metre

Volumetric water content of soil = 0.375 × 15000 cubic meter/ 1.5 hectare of soil

Volumetric water content of soil = 5625 cubic meter/ 1.5 hectare of soil

Therefore, the equivalent depth of water in the soil is 270 mm of water and the volumetric water content of soil is 5625 cubic meter/ 1.5 hectare of soil.

How can scientists determine the absolute age of a rock sample?
Roman55 [17]
Absolute Dating. The nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes is a process that behaves in a clock-like fashion and is thus a useful took for determining the absolute age of rocks. Radioactive decay is the process by which a "parent" isotope changes into a "Daughter" isotope.

"in order for the stain to penetrate the impervious coat of the spore, which primary stain is steamed into the cell surface?"
lana66690 [7]

Answer;

-Malachite green

Explanation;

-Malachite green is also used in endospore staining, since it can directly stain endospores within bacterial cells; here a safranin counterstain is often used.

-Because of their tough protein coats made of keratin, spores are highly resistant to normal staining procedures. The primary stain in the endospore stain procedure, malachite green, is driven into the cells with heat.
