Answer:
Classification:-
Soil classification systems are established to help people predict soil behavior and to provide a common language for soil scientists. ... Soils are named and classified into 12 orders on the basis of physical and chemical properties in their horizon (layers).
The USCS has three major classification groups:
(1) coarse-grained soils (e.g. sands and gravels);
(2) fine-grained soils (e.g. silts and clays); and
(3) highly organic soils (referred to as "peat"). The USCS further subdivides the three major soil classes for clarification.
