Detailed explanation-1: -The soil is composed of small particles. These small particles are the result of massive rocks of different mineralogy that have weathered to produce smaller rock fragments and finally soil particles. Soil particles vary in size, shape and chemical composition. Some are so small they can be seen only with a microscope.
Detailed explanation-2: -Soil is likely to have several kinds of rock and mineral particles. A few kinds are very common. The three most common kinds are quartz particles, feldspar particles, and small pieces of rock. A soil sample is very likely to have a lot of at least one of these three kinds of particles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sand, silt, and clay are made from different rocks and minerals but the other important difference between them is the size of their particles. Sand has the biggest, clay the smallest and silt is in between.
