Tlo
From Wikipedia
Tlo je rahli površinski dio Zemljine kore u što ubrajamo: prah, glinu, pijesak, šljunak, mješavine pijeska, šljunka i praha, pa čak i glina.
Tlo nastaje mehaničkim trošenjem svih vrsta stijena.
Ovisno o vrsti tla, ono može povećavati svoj volumen ili ga smanjivati (ovisno o postotku vode koju sadrži). Tlo je nehomogeno i znatno je deformabilnije (stišljivije) od stijena.
Tla prema vrsti dijelimo na:
- koherentna tla - to su vezana tla - prah, glina, organsko tlo
- nekoherentna tla - nevezana tla - šljunak, pijesak i njihove mješavine
U tlo neki svrstavaju još i treset (tj. ugljen, koji se najčešće nalazi u šljuncima, između proslojaka).
Znanost o tlu u građevinarskom smislu može se podjeliti prema područjima izučavanja na dva glavna dijela : Mehanika tla i Statika tla.
Grana geologije koja se bavi proučavanjem tala zove se pedologija.
