a landscaper is shopping for landscaping materials. she wants to use materials through which water flows easily. which two materials should she choose? clay and gravel gravel and loosely packed soil granite and rocks with cracks rocks with cracks and clay
Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine the materials through which water flows easily, we analyze the permeability (ability to let water pass) of each option:
- Clay has small, tightly - packed particles, so water does not flow easily through it. So options with clay (first and fourth) are incorrect.
- Granite is a dense rock with very low permeability, so water does not flow easily through it. So the third option is incorrect.
- Gravel has large, irregularly - shaped particles with many spaces between them, and loosely packed soil also has relatively large spaces between its particles. Both of these materials allow water to flow easily.
Answer:
B. gravel and loosely packed soil
