JudyIn normally consolidated clays, the soil particles are densely packed and in contact with each other, which prevents the development of cohesion. Cohesion in soils arises from the attractive forces between soil particles, but in normally consolidated clays, these forces are not significant due to compaction. This results in zero cohesion in normally consolidated clays.

How do you distinguish between variable and permanent charge of clays in soils?
Variable charge in clays comes from pH-dependent adsorption of ions on clay surfaces, while permanent charge arises from isomorphous substitution of ions in the crystal lattice. Variable charge can be modified by changing soil pH, while permanent charge remains constant irrespective of pH. Conducting pH-dependent tests or using selective extractants can help distinguish between variable and permanent charge of clays in soils.
How much zero gravity is there in space?
Zero! that's why it is called zero gravity!
How does the volume change in an isentropic process?
The entropy of an ideal gas during an isothermal process may change because normally the entropy is a net zero. The change of on isothermal process can produce positive energy.
How do you say 0.80?
You would say 0.80 as "zero point eight zero" or "eighty hundredths."
Is absolute zero is equal to -273 degrees on the Kelvin scale?
Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.
