Plz which list is in order from smaller to larger sediment particles? a. sand, silt, clay b. clay, silt, sand c. silt, sand, clay d. silt, clay, sand

Answer : The correct option is B (clay, slit, sand).

Explanation :

Soil particles are of three types : Sand, Slit and clay. Most of the soils particles are made up of a combination of sand, slit and clay.

Particle size range of the sand = 2.00 -0.05 mm

Particle size range of the slit = 0.05 -0.002 mm

Particle size range of the sand = less than 0.002 mm

Sand is the largest soil particle, clay is the smallest soil particle and slit particle is present in between the sand & clay particle.

Therefore, the order from smaller to larger sediment particles is

Clay > Slit > Sand

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

give me abc and i will get it for u.
