Firsr option is correct as it Plastic Limit is that consistency limit which marks the transition from plastic to semi solid state. Here, relative to other options, it is best suited for definition of Plastic Limit.
Which best describes the Plastic Limit (PL) in the Atterberg Limits? Moisture content where soil changes...
1) A clay has the following Atterberg limits: Liquid Limit (LL) = 60 Plastic Limit (PL) = 40 Shrinkage Limit (SL) = 25 The clay shrinks from 15 cm3 to 9.57 cm3 when the moisture content is decreased from the LL to the SL in the Atterberg tests. What is the clay’s specific gravity (dry)?
How does Physical Weathering change the chemical composition of a rock material? It creates new, different minerals from the old minerals It doesn't change the chemical composition of a rock material It dissolves soluble minerals, moving ions into solutions It relies on chemical reactions to break down the minerals In the ASCE or USBR Rock Weathering Descriptors, the description of "Moderately Severe" says that all (minerals) except quartz are discolored or stained, and that all feldspars are dull, discolored and...
