Tisha Flashcards
What is defined by the way individual particles of sand, silt, and clay are assembled . Single particles when assembled appear as larger particles
Aggregates
What is the parts of soil structure
Silt,clay,humus / particles of sand
Units of structure caused by disturbance of such as plowing
Peds
What are the classification of soil structure?
-Size of particles
-Grade
-Form
What are the four major GRADES of structure
Structureless- no observable aggregation or no orderly arrangements of natural lines of weakness
_________________&
Weak- poorly formed indistinct peds
_________________
Moderate + strong
Among the following is not soil structure - ans: loam, crumb, platy, sub-angular blocky
Loam
Soil structure of a soil found sandy and having low clay and organic matter
A) structureless massive
B). granular
C) structureless single grained
D) prismatic
Structureless single grained
Soil structure is
Single grade & massive
Soil is broken into individual particles that do not stick together.
Single grained
The grade of structure
-Degree of aggregation
-Cohesion
-Adhesion
