Question

Which aspect of soil characteristics is a Munsell chart used for?

Select one:
a. Determining color
b. Determining soil composition
c. Separating soils by grain size
d. Determining soil conservation techniques

Answer 1

The answer is A) determining color

The Munsell chart uses a three-dimensional diagram, factoring value, hue, and chroma, to determine the exact nature of a color. This is not limited to soil use, and is a general guide for more properly describing a color. Its applicability to soil is that the specific color of a soil can be indicative of other properties.
