    Soil properties are the result of the five soil forming factors; parent rock‚ climate‚ topography‚ organisms and time (Bockheim‚ et.al.‚ 2014). This is why there is a wide variety of soil types throughout Australia‚ but are there systematic differences between different regions? This essay will determine whether Australian tropical soils are different from soils of the rest of the country. The tropics are the regions between the latitude lines of the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn (Seidel

    CHAPTER 8 Soil Compaction Soil compaction is one of the most critical components in the construction of roads‚ airfields‚ embankments‚ and foundations. The durability and stability of a structure are related to the achievement of proper soil compaction. Structural failure of roads and airfields and the damage caused by foundation settlement can often be traced back to the failure to achieve proper soil compaction. Compaction is the process of mechanically densifying a soil. Densification

    A soil horizon is a layer parallel to the soil surface‚ whose physical characteristics differ from the layers above and beneath. Each soil type has at least one‚ usually three or four horizons. Horizons are defined in most cases by obvious physical features‚ chiefly colour and texture. These may be described both in absolute terms (particle size distribution for texture‚ for instance) and in terms relative to the surrounding material‚ i.e. ‘coarser’ or ‘sandier’ than the horizons above and below

    Q1. You are asked to create soil that would be considered very fertile. What would you include in your "recipe?" I would try to create a soil order all of my own‚ combining Inceptisols and Mollisols unique characteristics. My terrain for my soil to be placed would be on a mostly flat to gently sloping surface to provide good drainage‚ minimum erosion‚ and sufficient time for nutrients to drain into the soil. My “O” soil horizon will be mostly compost made from fallen leaves and other organic

    Soil formation‚ or pedogenesis‚ is the combined effect of physical‚ chemical‚ biological and anthropogenic processes on soil parent material. Soil is said to be formed when organic matter has accumulated and colloids washed downward‚ leaving deposits of clay‚ humus‚ iron oxide‚ carbonate‚ and gypsum. As a result‚ horizons form in the soil profile. These constituents are moved (translocated) from one level to another by water and animal activity. The alteration and movement of materials within a soil

    Title L6 – Soil Permeability – Constant Head Test Introduction Permeability is measured in term of water flow through the soil in a given time. The soil permeability is a very important factor to study the behavior of soil in its natural condition with respect to water flow. The size of pore space and interconnectivity of the spaces help determine permeability‚ so shape and arrangement of grains play a role. Often the term hydraulic conductivity is used when discussing groundwater properties

    Kenneth R. Sagum May 7‚ 2013 FR1 NATSCI1 “Effects of Soil Erosion in the Philippines” The soil is among our most precious resources‚ yet we often take it for granted or destroy it by making it susceptible to soil erosion. In the Philippines‚ for example‚ 22 provinces had been reported to have "alarming" soil erosion rate. Among those that had been losing their topsoil were Cebu‚ Batangas‚ Marinduque‚ Ilocos Sur‚ and La Union. This means that 58 per cent of the country’s total
