Question

Water which is held very tightly around soil particles by adhesive forces is called ____________water.

Options

• Capillary

• Hygroscopic

• Combined

• Gravitational

Answer 1

Water which is held very tightly around soil particles by adhesive forces is called Hygroscopic water.

Explanation:

Water from gravity moves down and joins the local water table. Capillary water is water molecules present in gaps between soil particles and is the only type available for plant absorption. Combined water is water molecules associated with other molecules in soil by chemical interactions.
