What are properties of Soil?

In this article, we will discuss ‘Properties of Soil’ from chapter ‘Soil’ out for Class 7 Science.

Percolation rate of water in the soil

Percolation is the property of absorption of water by soil.
If we pour a bottle of water on the floor and another bottle of water in the soil, the water on the floor will flow down but water in the soil will be absorbed.
The percolation rate is the amount of water absorbed by any soil at any given time.
Formula for calculating percolation rate is,

Percolation rate (ml/min) = amount of water (ml) / percolation time (min).

For example, If 200 ml of water is percolated through the soil sample in 40 min. Calculate the rate of percolation.

Solution – Rate of percolation is = amount of water (ml)/ percolation time (min)

= 200 ml/ 40 min

= 5 ml/ min

Ans- The rate of percolation is 5 ml/ min.

Moisture in soil

Moisture is the amount of water present in the soil.
During summer, the water content in the soil evaporates and moves up which reflect the sunlight, thus the air above soil seems to shimmer.

One to One Correspondence and Equivalent Sets Suppose the members of the family are dinning and plates are prepared on the table then there is a One to one correspondence between the set of family members and the plates prepared. We will indicate this correspondence by the symbol If each element of a set A is associated with one and only one element of a set B and each element of B is associated with one and only one element of set A, then the sets A and B are said to be in one to one correspondence. If both the sets are finite and if they are in one to one correspondence, it is obvious that they have the same number of elements. If two sets have the same number of elements, they are said to be equivalent sets. Using symbol, we write A B. Between two equivalent sets, a one to one corr...
