______ is the ratio of the volume of voids to the total volume of the given soil.
The correct answer is
Porosity
Porosity Soil is a three-phase system consisting of solid particles, water, and air. Relationship Between Porosity and Void Ratio Porosity (n) and void ratio (e) are inter-related. From the definition of porosity, n = (V_v)/(V_s + V_v).
