Question

Sandy soil has a relatively low thermal conductivity. Therefore, the surface layer over sandy soil will normally reach a lower temperature during the day than it would over soil that is moist or covered with vegetation.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Granted, sandy soil has low conductivity, but the surface layer of sandy soil isn't low particularly during the day. Sandy soil reacts more to temperature when compared with other types of soil, and as such, during the day under a hot temperature, the texture of sandy soil is usually hot, and not low like the question suggested. Invariably, the inference the question is making is wrong and not correct, so false
