Question 1

relative proportion of primary particles (sand, silt, clay) in the soil

Answer 1

soil texture

Question 2

the arrangements of primary particles in the soil into units or peds

Answer 2

soil structure

Question 3

the ratio of the void volume to the total total soil volume

Answer 3

porosity (n)

Question 4

the ratio of the weight of water to the dry weight of the soil

Answer 4

moisture content on a dry weight basis (mcw)

Question 5

the ratio of the volume of water to the total soil volume

Answer 5

moisture content on a volume basis or volumetric mc

Question 6

the ratio of dry weight of the soil to the total soil volume

Answer 6

bulk density

Question 7

the ratio of the dry weight of the soil to the volume of the soil particle

Answer 7

particle density

Question 8

ratio of the bulk density of the soil with the density of water; it is the ratio of the weight of soil to the weight of water with volume density equal to the total soil volume

Answer 8

apparent specific gravity
