Which soil type drains water very easily?
A
Clay
B
Sandy
C
Loam
D
Silt
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sandy soil is made of sand particles that are rough in texture. This prevents them from sticking tightly together. The space between sand particles is large for water to flow through it. Hence sandy soil drains faster than other types of soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sand particles have large enough space between them for passing water through it. This is the reason why sandy soil drains faster than other types of soil. Sandy soil is good for growing vegetables because it has good drainage and it warms up well. Unlike clay soil, it doesn’t hold its nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -When it comes to how sandy soil drains, this is due to it having large air pockets which allow water to move quickly through it. Sand is also coarser than regular dirt, which helps create more space for runoff water and prevents pooling and soggy soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Silt. Like sand, silt particles are relatively large and leave gaps, so water can flow through easily.
