Article shared by :
After reading this article you will learn about the physical, mineralogical and chemical nature of soil separates. Physical Nature of Soil Separates: Soil separates consist of stones, gravels, sands, silts and clays. Their nature is described briefly. (i) Stone, Gravel and Sands (Coarse Fragments): Stones and gravels range in size from 2 mm upward and […]
Relationship between Porosity and Density of Soil
Article shared by :
After reading this article you will learn about the relationship between porosity and density of soil. % soil space = bulk density/particle density Since, % pore space + % soil space = 100 or % pore space 100 – % solid space or % pore space = 100 – bulk density/particle density × 100 % […]
