give one characteristic each of sandy,clayey and loamy soil
(short question answer)
Answers
Answer:
a)Sandy Soil is light, warm, dry and tend to be acidic and low in nutrients. ... The addition of organic matter can help give plants an additional boost of nutrients by improving the nutrient and water holding capacity of the soil.
b)Plasticity - sticky, the ability to form and retain the shape by an outside force, has a unique "crystal" structure of the molecules, plate like, flat, 2 dimensional, water affects it. ... Plastic (small particled) clays shrink much more than non-plastic (large particled) clays.
C)Loam soils generally contain more nutrients,moisture, and humus than sandy soils, have better drainage and infiltration of water and air than silty soils, and are easier to till than clay soils.

Sandy Soil
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.
Clayey Soil
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.
Loamy Soil
Loamy Soil is the mixture of clay, sand and silt soil which consists of additional organic matter and is very fertile compared to other types of soil. It is well suited for cultivation as the plant roots get a sufficient amount of water and nutrients for their growth and development.
