In this article we will discuss about relationship between soil erosion and sediment delivery. In a stream either that is river or any fluvial system, the main source of sediments is the soil erosion from the catchment area of concerned stream/river. Erosion rates can be quite different within the boundary of an individual field, which may be due to variations [...]
Quantitative interrelationships of solid, liquid and air components of soil (Fig 4.1) are defined in terms of many useful parameters of soil. Density of individual soil particles and of bulk is reported in relation to density of water, which is 1.0 gram per cubic centimeter (1.0 g cm-3). Solid rock particles that go to form the soil, normally, weigh about [...]
After reading this article you will learn about the relationship between thermal conductivity and diffusivity. In thermal conductivity and diffusivity the movement of heat in the soil will be considered. Because it is found that much of the solar radiation is dissipated into the atmosphere. Part of it, however, moves slowly through the soil profile by conduction process. Once the [...]
