Answer:

Most soils are a combination of the three. The relative percentages of sand, silt, and clay are what give soil its texture. A clay loam texture soil, for example, has nearly equal parts of sand, slit, and clay.

The type of soil there is approximately equal to sand and clay:

  • Loam is generally considered to be suitable for the same amount of sand and silt size for small clay.
  • Sand gives the soil volume and porosity, silt makes it stronger, clay gives it nutrients and strength while storing water.
  • If the soil sample has 50% sand, 20% silt and 30% clay, it can be described as 'sandy clay loam'.
  • If it was 70% clay, 20 percent mud and 10% sand would be defined as ‘clay’.
  • The term ‘loam’ is used to describe soil with a broad combination of sand, mud and particles of clay.
