Which soil flows water rapidly?
A
Sandy soil
B
Garden soil
C
Peaty soil
D
Clay soil
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 large pores of a sand-dominated soil, where the particles are larger might allow more water flow than the micropore space in a clay-dominated soil, where particles are smaller and held together tightly.” “Water will move in and out of these pores if they are connected to one another, ‘’ says Hartsig.

Detailed explanation-3: -Silt. Like sand, silt particles are relatively large and leave gaps, so water can flow through easily.
