Soil

Types of Soil

Soil is a mixture of minerals, air, water, broken pieces of rocks, clay, and the remains of dead plants and animals. It also has many insectsand earthworms that live in it

There are three main types of soil depending on:

size
texture of the soil particles

Sand

Rough and Dry
Largest Size

Silt

Smooth when dry, non-sticky when wet
smaller than sand particles

Clay

Smooth when dry, sticky and slippery when wet
Smallest

Loam

a mixture of sand, silt and clay in equal amounts
smooth and gritty texture

Different soil can hold different amounts of water

the small particles of clayey soil are closely packed, so it can hold a lot of water
the larger particles of sandy soil are loosely packed, so it can hold vey little water
In loamy soil, the particles are neither too big or too small, So they hold just the right amount of water. This is why this soil is best for growth of plants
