Question

Difference between clayey soil and Loamy soil and Sandy soil

Answer 1

a soil that contains a high percentage of fine particles and colloidal substance and becomes sticky when wet.-clayey soil

sandy soil mainly consists of rock particles such as limestone, shale, granite and quartz. Sandy Soil has a low percentage of organic material and it hardly stores any moisture.

Loam soil is a mixture of soil that is the ideal plant-growing medium. It is actually a combination soil, normally equal parts of clay, silt, and sand.

Difference are:



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.
