Permeability and Capillarity

Match it! Select the correct answer from the pull down...Good luck!

Which surface soil type has the slowest permeability rate and is most likely to produce flooding?

Which statement best explains the observed change in the water content of the soil samples?

Which column of particles retained the most water after the clamps were opened and the water was drained into the beakers?

Results of this experiment lead to the conclusion that

In which sediments is the capillary action of water greatest?

All of the particles in these four columns are classified as

Compared to the model containing larger particles, the model containing smaller particles has

Each tube is filled with water to the top of the sediments and the tube is covered with a fine screen. The tubes are then tipped upside down so the water can drain. In which tube would the sediment retain the most water?
