Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. It is defined by size, being finer than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass.
Clay is a finely-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with possible traces of quartz, metal oxides and organic matter.
Loam is soil composed mostly of sand, silt, and a smaller amount of clay.

<b>Here is the answer to your question!!

SANDY SOIL:

* Soil particles are bigger in size.

* The large spaces between them are filled with air.

* Soil cannot retain water as water can drain out quickly through the spaces between the cell particle.

CLAYEY SOIL:

* It has higher proportion of fine and smooth soil particles.

* There is very little space between the soil particles.

* It cannot return air.

LOAMY SOIL:

* Mixture of sand silt and clay particles.

* It can hold both air and water.

* Best soil for growing most of the crops.

Hope it helped!!
