Refers to the size and shape of the aggregates of particles of soil.

The correct answer is soil structure. Soil structure refers to the arrangement of soil separates into units which are called soil aggregates which possess solids and pore space. Aggregates are separated by planes of weakness and are dominated by clay particles. Example of an aggregate is silt and fine sand.

By water evaporation from the leaves is created a negative pressure at the top of the tree that promotes the ascension  of the water through channels that are called xylem. there are also two molecule forces that are involved: the intra-water molecules cohesion (water molecules stick to each other) and the adhesion when the water molecules stick to the channels they are running in. this is what enables water to go from the roots to the top of a tall tree.
