Please mark me Brainlist

Explanation:

Sandy soil is quite loose, so the percolation rate of water is highest in sandy soil.

Clayey soil is very compact. So, the percolation rate of water is lowest in the clayey soil. The sandy soil (having the highest percolation rate) allows the rainwater to reach a well faster and in greater amount.

Silty soils, including loam, have moderate percolation speeds, ranging from 0.1 to 1 inch per hour. This is the "Goldilocks" situation, in which a soil holds water and nutrients long enough for plant roots to absorb them, but the soil does not easily become waterlogged.

Answer:

The process in which water passes down slowly through the sol is called percolation of water .

Sandy

Clayey

Loamy

Explanation:

Sandy - Sandy soils usually have very high percolation rates, measured in the range of 1 to 8 inches or more per hour. That means sandy soils dry out very quickly, heat up very quickly and do not hold nutrients for very long. The percolation rate  is highest in sandy soil

Clayey - Clay soils have very fine particles through which water cannot be easily percolate . Its has the lowest percolation rate  

Loamy Soli - Silty soils, including loam, have moderate percolation speeds, ranging from 0.1 to 1 inch per hour. This is the "Goldilocks" situation, in which a soil holds water and nutrients long enough for plant roots to absorb them, but the soil does not easily become waterlogged.
