земельний огляд шар ґрунту тлумачення земельного огляду групи ґрунтів |
VIII. Translate into English:
Поведінка ґрунтів під нашими будинками, дорогами, системами очисних споруд, фермами, лісами тощо впливає на життєву діяльність.
Земельні огляди дають нам базове розуміння, як тлумачити та правильно управляти ґрунтами.
Грунт – це природна субстанція, утворена твердими (мінеральними та органічними) речовинами, рідиною та газами земної поверхні; здатна підтримувати укорінення рослин в природному середовищі.
Ґрунти із спільним походженням, хімічними і фізичними властивостями групуються у типи.
Земельний огляд – це науково-обгрунтоване дослідження ґрунтів.
Земельні огляди складаються з карт, земельних описів та земельних тлумачень.
Тлумачення земельного огляду охоплює потенційну користь або обмеження використання землі як сировини, так і підтримки будівель.
Інформація, отримана з земельного огляду, допомагає викрити загальні проблеми ґрунту під будівництво: повільна проникність, низька несуща здатність, агресивність до металу і бетону, висока здатність до усадки або розбухання.
Багатьох проблем можна уникнути, переглянувши спочатку інформацію про земельний огляд.
Завдяки (due to) опублікованій інформації про земельний огляд, люди матимуть можливість робити інформаційно-професійні висновки щодо використання землі.
