Which soil characteristic allows greater amounts of water retention?
porosity of the sediments
small-size particles
greatest in tube A
porosity
Beaker A and beaker B have the same porosity, and beaker C has the least porosity.
well sorted and loosely packed
sand, silt, and pebbles, only
C
Which graph best represents the relationship between porosity and particle size for soil samples of uniform size, shape, and packing?
porosity of the sediments
small-size particles
greatest in tube A
porosity
Beaker A and beaker B have the same porosity, and beaker C has the least porosity.
well sorted and loosely packed
sand, silt, and pebbles, only
C
Water was added to each tube to just cover the sediments and the volumes of water added were recorded. These data can best be used to determine the

Which characteristic is most likely the same for these particle-filled containers?
porosity of the sediments
small-size particles
greatest in tube A
porosity
Beaker A and beaker B have the same porosity, and beaker C has the least porosity.

Which statement best compares the porosity in the three beakers?
porosity of the sediments
small-size particles
greatest in tube A
porosity
Beaker A and beaker B have the same porosity, and beaker C has the least porosity.
well sorted and loosely packed
sand, silt, and pebbles, only
