What does the soil look like in the "soil" bottle? How is it different from the soil in the "soil and sand" bottle?

Answer 1

Soil is built up of clastic particles, organics, and clay while sand is a combination of rocks, minerals, and fragments of rotting shells.

Soil particles are larger in size and mass together, Sand particles are tinier and individual.

Explanation:

So, the soil is weaker than sand particles. When we mix soil and sand into the water, we acknowledge that soil particles somewhat settle at the bottom while designing parts mixed into water. Sand is almost heavier than water so it settles down at the base.

Soil particles settle faster and will be on the bottom while the sand particles will be on top. And no this is not a great method to define particle size distribution.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. The larger and heavier particles settled first and settled at the bottom.

2. Gravel is settled at the very bottom because it is heavier than sand and clay.  

3. No, because each layer has smaller and lighter particles in it.  

4. No, because the amount of each type of particle is different in every location.
