How does the size of the soil particles impact the soil's permeability (movement of water)?

Biology
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Water moves by gravity into the open pore spaces in the soil, and the size of the soil particles and their spacing determines how much water can flow in. Wide pore spacing at the soil surface increases the rate of water infiltration, so coarse soils have a higher infiltration rate than fine soils.

How does soil particle size affect permeability?

But permeability is a different thing. It increases as particle size increases. By definition, permeability is a MEASURE OF EASE with which fluids will flow though a porous rock, soil or sediment. ... That means capillarity increase as particle sizes decreases.

3. Why is it sometimes necessary to use a model that is "not to scale"?
joja [24]
My answer: Because the actual thing you might be modelling might be too small or large to replicate, (for example you cannot draw a plant cell TO SCALE because it’s way too small to see with a bare eye).
And if the item is too big, you won’t be able to fit it in a small space; if you were to draw it or create it in 3D.

I hope this helps!
Sorry if the response is too short, try rewording if you need to :)

What is the functional advantage of the alveolar walls being so thin?
Sati [7]
Alveolar walls are thin to enable the quick passage of oxygen in and out of the lungs. The lungs works hand-in-hand with the heart and also is responsible in converting blood that's de-oxygenated into an oxygenated blood that is usable by the organ systems of the body. The alveolar walls are also designed to have thin membranes so that it can expand and constrict quickly allowing us to breather properly.
