calculations
what is the formula for slope
F1-F2 divided by distance then multiply by 100
What are uplands mostly made of?
weathered bedrock, till, or loess
what soil type has no cast or ribbon?
corse sand
what can you find in soil
silt, clay,sand
what is the answer if
F1=5 feet
F2=0
distance =100
5%
what are outwashs made of
outwash, lacustrine,deposit, or eolian sand
how do you cast soil?
take the soil (that is in a ball) and squeeze it.
what is the medium made of
silt
what is slope?
how fast it inclines or declines
alluvium
how do you do ribboning
you push your cast through the thumb and pointer finger.
what are the ways you can calculate soil?
you can calculate using the slope formula or shooting for slope with a weight and string
if flag one is 10 feet,flag 2 is 0 feet, and the distance is 50 feet what is the slope
20%
Do floodplains have strong or weak development
weak
what type of soil can cast but not ribbon
moderately coarse
dose soil made with mostly slit crumble
yes the ribbon crumbles but it can both cast and ribbon
why do you multiply by 100 when you calculate slope?
what is a possible location for uplands?
they are above rivers and streams
what texture is clay?
a little stick and smooth with no gritt in it.
what is the soil hand for
to help identify what type of soil we have
