Soil texture is determined by ____
|
|
its composition
|
|
|
the percent of each grain size
|
|
|
its origins
|
|
|
their porosity & permeability
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This gives you the percentage of soil particles with a size equal to or larger than 0.075 mm in diameter. If the percentage is less than 50 percent, it is a fine grained soil (fine texture). If the percentage is more than 50 percent, it is a coarse grained soil (coarse texture).
Detailed explanation-2: -Sand particles are the largest and range from 2.0 to 0.05 mm in diameter. Silt particles are smaller, ranging from 0.05 to 0.002 mm. Clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm. Texture affects other soil properties such as bulk density, water holding capacity, permeability, and porosity.
