The movement of material due to differences in density is called convection. The differences in density caused by temperature variations result in the the movement of matter and transfer of energy as heat. Warm air is less dense than cold air, and so convection currents can form in the presence of a temperature gradient.

From the standpoint of water availability, which of the four soils; crushed silt loam, aggregate silt loam, fine sand or coarse

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

fine sand

Explanation:

Permeability id a scientific index of the soil to have air and water pass through the soil pore and spaces. As clay soils have a fine texture, with loamy soils moderately textured and sandy soils coarsely textured thus permeability changes from slow to rapid.

As sandy soil is highly permeable i.e 5.0 cm per hour and clay soils having the least i.e 0.05 permeability. Loamy soil is composed of sand, silt, and a smaller amount of clay.

From an agricultural perspective, the soil permeability depends upon the percentage of the see-page and the chemical makeup of the soil. Thus crops can grow more easily this type of soil as the particle size is minute and fine.

Which prosses is responsible for crakes in successive strata in the earth

bazaltina [42]

B) Faulting

Layers of strata in the earths crust naturally slide along each other. Sometimes friction or blockage causes this process to stop, until enough pressure builds up to overcome whatever the resistant force is. Faulting is the process by which this pressure forces the strata to continue their movement, often producing cracks in the involved strata, and causing earthquakes and tremors in the event of an intense pressure release.
