Water carries nutrients below plant roots where they are unavailable to plants.

Soil particles which are smooth and small in size

Soil which contains high organic matter content

Soil which contains relatively equivalent portions of sand, silt and clay

Soil particles which vary in size and resemble cookie crumbs

Answer 1

Answer: The texture of soil determines soil water-holding capacity, permeability, and soil workability. Sand, silt, clay, and organic matter particles in a soil combine with one another to form larger particles. Soil structure is the arrangement of the soil particles into aggregates of various sizes and shapes. THEREFORE THE ANSWER TO THE FIRST ONE IS A) SOIL TEXTURE.

FOR THE SECOND QUESTION THE ANSWER IS B) CRUMBY.

FOR THE THIRD QUESTION THE ANSWER IS D) Water carries nutrients below plant roots where they are unavailable to plants.

FOR THE FOURTH QUESTION THE ANSWER IS D) Soil pH does not affect the availability of nutrients

FOR THE FIFTH QUESTION THE ANSWER IS C) Soil which contains relatively equivalent portions of sand, silt and clay
