The diagram above illustrates a tool used to analyze a soil sample in an experiment. Use it to answer this qu
The diameter of the soil particle that would be retained in the part labelled II is
- 0.002 - 0.02 mm
-
0.02 - 0.2 mm
- 0.2 - 2.0 mm
- 2.0 mm
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
Coarse sand — particles less than 2mm and greater than 0.2mm in diameter. Fine sand — particles between 0.2mm and 0.02mm in diameter. Silt — particles between 0.02mm and 0.002mm in diameter. Clay — particles less than 0.002mm in diameter.
