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.

What are some of the concerns associated with our increasing population and consumption of resources?
Ugo [173]

Explanation:

As human population increases the rate of consumption of resources also increases. Economists postulates that available resources with which to satisfy our unlimited wants as a population is highly limited.

  • Increase in population leads to an increasing pressure on available resources such as freshwater, land, air, energy e.t.c.
  • Increasing population easily leads to deforestation. Deforestation is the loss of forest. Forest trees are used in construction of houses and industries. Forests also takes up space and they might have to be plundered to make way for new buildings. Eventually, the forest will be lost.
  • Decrease in standard of living: increasing population will lead to a low standard of living. Resources meant to accommodate a certain number of people will no longer be sufficient for them.
  • High poverty rate; if population continues to rise, the rate of poverty will increase too. There will be limited resources to cater for the well being of the populace as a whole.
