Check for Understanding III - Texture & Structure Soil Properties 1. of 5 Select the correct answer from the choices provided in the underlined section. As particle size increases I decreases, porosity increases.

## Step 1<br />The problem is about the properties of soil, specifically the relationship between particle size and porosity. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />As the particle size of the soil increases, the spaces between the particles, also known as the porosity, also increases. This is because larger particles have more space between them compared to smaller particles.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Therefore, the correct answer is "porosity increases".
