It blows my mind how much good information is packed into this video, really excellent job. I came for the temperature stability at soil depth information but am glad I stayed for the rest. Well done!
I’m Kaycee can you help me with this question ) The temperature of a wet soil is 23°c, the volumetric water content is 0.25, the soil bulk density is 1.3 milligramme per meter. Calculate the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a 0.5m layer of the soil to 35°c
These lectures and all your other ones are amazing, so happy I found these! I'm at uni at the moment in an environmental science degree and we pass over these kinds of things in a paragraphs. Love how much detail there is here ❤
nice lectures. i found out the cool thing of how we get all this evaporation to form clouds, i.e. water cycle, without boiling our oceans. it is true that it takes 100C to turn water into steam to form clouds however, what we measure is an average temparature of a volume of water. in that volume of water there will be water molecules that do reach 100C so as to turn to steam (evaporate) to form clouds, despite the volume of water average temperature being only a few degrees above freezing. the warmer the average temperature, the more individual molecules that reach vapor temperature to be able to evaporate.
Hello, thanks for the information. Does this theory hold true for tropical regions where atmospheric the temperature doesn't fluctuate as much as colder regions? I'm exploring the use of geothermal cooling in the tropics but I have no idea of the soil temperature at depths between 8 to 10 feet, for example.
salam mam i am from pakistan .very nice lectures
Incredibly lucid and accessible

Really awesome, feels like college
really informative thanks.... from Philippines island

Do you think soil temperature affect climate change????
What about under moble homes trailers where the sun never shines... does the soil temperature ever change the deeper you go
I imagine the soil temperature underneath the mobile home would be cooler than its surroundings, but only by the difference in solar insolation.
