When soil is saturated with water ____ increases.
A) pore pressure
B) surface tension
C) viscosity
D) density

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When soil is saturated with water, the pore spaces between particles become filled with water, which leads to an increase in pore pressure. This can have negative effects on the stability of slopes and foundations. Surface tension and viscosity are not typically affected by soil saturation, and while density may change slightly, it is not the most significant factor.
