Question

The given formula $\frac{\text{amount of water (ml)}}{\text{time(min.)}}$ is used to calculate which of the following processes?

• A. humidity
• B. climate
• C. percolation rate
• D. evaporation

Answer 1

The correct option is C

percolation rate

Percolation is the movement of water within the soil matrix. The percolation rate controls the infiltration rate. Percolation in soil is primarily due to gravity pulling the water vertically downwards.Percolation rate is given by Percolation rate= $\frac{\text{amount of water (ml)}}{\text{time(min.)}}$
