Q501
With increasing water content, Thermal Conductivity of soil
A.
Increases
AnswerB.
Decreases
C.
Varies
D.
No such relation exists
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
With increasing water content, the Thermal conductivity of soil Increases.As per the studies, it is seen that soil thermal conductivity increases as a power function of soil moisture content. The thermal diffusivity first increases with increasing soil moisture, then decreases after reaching its maximum.
