GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sandy soils are known to have high permeability, which results in high infiltration rates and good drainage. Clay textured soils have small pore spaces that cause water to drain slowly through the soil. Clay soils are known to have low permeability, which results in low infiltration rates and poor drainage.

Detailed explanation-2: -1 Permeability. Permeability defines how easily a fluid flows through a porous material. Materials with a high permeability allow easy flow, while materials with a low permeability resist flow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sand particles are easier for water to maneuver through the pore spaces while clay particles because of their flat shape and electrically charge state has a more difficult time making it way through the matrix of particles, in other words, sand is more permeable that clay.
