A soil scientist conducts tests on a sample of soil. Her tests show that water flows through the soil easily and that the soil d
oes not hold much water. How would this soil sample be described? A. high porosity and high permeability B. low porosity and low permeability C. high porosity and low permeability D. low porosity and high permeability
Porosity can be define as the quality of the material of having pores or holes. The permeability can be define as the state or quality of a material that allow the liquids or gases to pass through it.
The soil which does not hold much water can be considered of high porosity and high permeability. As it is only possible if the soil has large number of pores and it is not in compact form.
