Sand or sandy soil is formed by the smallest or fine particles of weathering rocks. This soil is known as the poorest type of soil for agriculture and growing plants as they have very low nutritional value and poor water holding capacity.

Clay or clay soil is mainly composed of the smallest particles of soil, which are densely packed with very little or no airspace, and they effectively retain water. This soil is not suitable for growing plants as it is harder for moisture and air to penetrate into the soil.
