Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Blocky soil aggregates are often larger in size (5-50 mm or 1/5-2 in. in diameter) and form irregular-shaped or cube-like blocks. This structure promotes good drainage, aeration and root penetration. Usually these structures are found in the B horizon or just below the colour change in many soils.
Detailed explanation-2: -Granular Structure is usually associated with surface horizons such as A and Ap horizons. Subangular and Angular Blocky Structure is usually associated with the B, or other subsoil horizons.
