Romo October 20‚ 2014 1st Period Mr.MayesSoil Texture Lab Report Introduction Soil texture is one of the most important physical properties of soils. Soil texture is related to a number of important soil characteristics such as water holding capacity‚ soil drainage‚ and soil fertility. In order to make this lab work to our own convenience we will use soil from our nearby area. This project was conducted to specify what type of soil there is in the area and what it can be used for.

Soil is an important natural resource that covers much of the earth’s land surface. All life on earth depends on the soil as a direct or indirect source of food. Plants are rooted in the soil and obtain nutrients (nourishing substances) from it. Animals get nutrients from plants or from animals that eat plants. Certain microbes in the soil cause dead organisms to decay‚ which helps return nutrients to the soil. In addition‚ many kinds of animals find shelter in the soil. Soil contains mineral

Systems Submission date: 22/10/2010 Semester: Fall 2010 Title: How soil management can affect soil quality Introduction Three Labs 1‚ 2 & 3‚ compared three agricultural fields with different soil management histories‚ trying to find out how these different soil managements affected the measured soil parameters. The three different soil management histories are given below: a. Corn field: tilled every year after corn harvest and left bare

Courtney Cubine 6/19/13 June 20‚ 2013 Separation of a Mixture of Solids Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to help the student learn how to separate a mixture of multiple different solids and determine the percentage of each component of the mixture. Procedure: I started off by removing the iron using the magnet‚ and then I weighed all of the iron I obtained from the mixture in a container I already knew the weight of and calculated the net weight of the iron.

What Is Soil Pollution? [pic] What Is Soil Pollution? Soil pollution results from the build up of contaminants‚ toxic compounds‚ radioactive materials‚ salts‚ chemicals and cancer-causing agents. The most common soil pollutants are hydrocarbons‚ heavy metals (cadmium‚ lead‚ chromium‚ copper‚ zinc‚ mercury and arsenic)‚ herbicides‚ pesticides‚ oils‚ tars‚ PCBs and dioxins. Until the 1970s‚ there was little talk of soil pollution and its devastating effects. In the 1980s‚ the U.S. Superfund was

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
