Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The particles that make up soil are categorized into three groups by size – sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest and clay particles the smallest. Most soils are a combination of the three. The relative percentages of sand, silt, and clay are what give soil its texture.
Detailed explanation-2: -Clay soils are heavy, high in nutrients, wet and cold in winter and baked dry in summer. Sandy soils are light, dry, warm, low in nutrients and often acidic. Silt soils are fertile, light but moisture-retentive, and easily compacted. Loams are mixtures of clay, sand and silt that avoid the extremes of each type. More items
