Answer 2

Heya..!

1)Sand –

Made up of weathered primary rock minerals.
The particles are irregular in outline.
They are large and so do not pack together easily.
Large pore spaces in between.
Air gets in very easily and water flows rapidly through it.

2)Silt –

Particles are smaller than sand.
Smaller pore spaces.
More difficult to drain.
Unlike clay particles, silt does not flocculate.

3)Clay –

Very small indeed.
Secondary minerals (chemically altered by weathering) – chemical weathering (hydration, hydrolysis and dissolution) causes the original mineral matter to degrade into its chemical constituents – mainly silicon, aluminium, iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium. Once released, they recrystallize to form ‘secondary minerals’.
Large surface area (they can hold more water) although the pore spaces are tiny.

Hope my answer helps u..!
