  2. Soil texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_texture

    Soil texture is a classification instrument used both in the field and laboratory to determine soil classes based on their physical texture. Soil texture can be determined using qualitative methods such as texture by feel, and quantitative methods such as the hydrometer method based on Stokes' law .

  3. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

    Soil texture is determined by the relative proportion of the three kinds of soil mineral particles, called soil separates: sand, silt, and clay. At the next larger scale, soil structures called peds or more commonly soil aggregates are created from the soil separates when iron oxides , carbonates , clay, silica and humus , coat particles and ...

  4. Soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil

    A soil texture triangle plot is a visual representation of the proportions of sand, silt, and clay in a soil sample. The interaction of the individual mineral particles with organic matter, water, gases via biotic and abiotic processes causes those particles to flocculate (stick together) to form aggregates or peds .

  5. Pavers (flooring) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavers_(flooring)

    The concrete paving bricks are a porous form of brick formed by mixing small stone hardcore, dyes, cement and sand and other materials in various amounts. Many block paving manufacturing methods are now allowing the use of recycled materials in the construction of the paving bricks, such as crushed glass and crushed old building rubble.

  6. Sand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand

    Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided mineral particles. Sand has various compositions but is defined by its grain size. Sand grains are smaller than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass.

    When he makes his Florida debut, Rioux will be the tallest player to ever get playing time at the top level of college basketball. Right now, two players are tied for that honor at 7-7.

  8. Soil aggregate stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Aggregate_Stability

    Soil sieve nests with dry soil aggregates after removal from a laboratory drying oven. Soil aggregate stability is a measure of the ability of soil aggregates—soil particles that bind together—to resist breaking apart when exposed to external forces such as water erosion and wind erosion, shrinking and swelling processes, and tillage.
