Question
The given experiment is about the absorption and percolation of water in different soils. In figure II, which soil has been put in the funnel?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Clay
The water holding capacity or water absorption of the capacity of different soil is different. The sand holds less water and has a high percolation rate than clay soil and loam. Compared to sand, clay holds more water. The absorption and percolation of water in different soil can be studied experimentally. In the figure I, the soil used is sand. Since sand has low absorption and a high percolation rate, the water easily moves down in the beaker. The soil in figure II is clay. It has high absorption and low percolation rate. Hence, very little amount of water is sipped down in the beaker. Thus, the correct answer is 'Clay.'
