SWS3022 Exam 1 Questions and Answers All Correct How does texture affect overall porosity? - Answer-Finer-textured soils have greater overall porosity than coarse-textured soils. Finer soils have smaller pore spaces which increase their capillarity, and allow them to hold water and gases better. How does texture affect water and gas movement in soils? - Answer-Coarse-textured soils have bigger pore spaces and smaller total porosity, allowing water and gas to move much faster. Why are the ...

What is a fold line and how is it used? - ANSWER-The fold line is a hinge line along which a vertical cross section may be constructed and then flattened out to a horizontal or map view. It is used to represent the subsurface along any given line in a map view. It need not be perpendicular to strike. What is the angle and side relationships for the sin equation? - ANSWER-sinα = opposite side/hypotenuse What is the angle and side relationships for the tanget equation? - ANSWER-tanα = oppo...
