What is the average particle/ true density of soil?
Correct answer: B. 2.6 Mg/m³
- A. 1.6 Mg/m³
- B. 2.6 Mg/m³
- C. 1.3Mg/m³
- D. None of themSoil
Explanation
The average particle or true density of mineral soil is about 2.65 Mg/m³, commonly rounded to 2.6 Mg/m³. Bulk density is lower, usually around 1.1 to 1.6 Mg/m³, so 1.6 is a tempting but incorrect alternative.
