Question

what type of material cannot percolate through the soil?
oil
plastic
gasoline
water

Explanation:

To determine which material cannot percolate through soil, we analyze the properties of each option:

• Oil: Can seep through soil due to its liquid nature and ability to move through pore spaces.
• Plastic: Is a solid, non - porous (in the context of soil percolation) material. Soil has pore spaces, but plastic particles (or objects) are too large and non - permeable to pass through these spaces.
• Gasoline: Similar to oil, it is a liquid that can percolate through soil.
• Water: Is known to percolate through soil as part of the water cycle and soil moisture dynamics.

So, plastic is the material that cannot percolate through the soil.

Answer:

B. plastic
