Which of these factors determines soil texture?

a. glacial till
b. particle sizes
c. mineral content
d. water composition

Option B, particle sizes, is the right answer.

Soil texture is a distribution apparatus practiced both in the field and lab to prepare soil properties based on their natural texture. Soil texture can be circumscribed adopting qualitative techniques such as texture by touch, and quantitative approaches such as the hydrometer technique. Soil texture concentrates on the particles that are less than two millimeters in broadness which incorporate clay, silt and sand.

Hello there!

You know that both substances are liquid at room temperature.

After the scientists transferred the same amount of energy to both substances (this is equivalent to heating them by the same amount), one of them changed phase and the other not.

when you give energy to a liquid, or heat in this case, the next phase is the gas. The fact that substance 1 changed of phase and substance 2 don't, means that substance one has a smaller vaporization point, which means that requires less energy in order to go from the liquid phase to the gas phase (the substance 1 does the transition at a smaller temperature than the substance 2).
