Types of soil.

\huge\red {Answer:-}

DEFINITION:-

A soil type is a taxonomic unit in soil science. All soils that share a certain set of well-defined properties form a distinctive soil type.

Soil is classified into four types:

Sandy soil.

Silt Soil.

Clay Soil.

Loamy Soil.

Sandy Soil -The first type of soil is sand. It consists of small particles of weathered rock. Sandy soils are one of the poorest types of soil for growing plants because it has very low nutrients and poor water holding capacity, which makes it hard for the plant’s roots to absorb water. This type of soil is very good for the drainage system. Sandy soil is usually formed by the breakdown or fragmentation of rocks like granite, limestone and quartz.

Silt Soil - Silt, which is known to have much smaller particles compared to sandy soil and is made up of rock and other mineral particles, which are smaller than sand and larger than clay. It is the smooth and fine quality of the soil that holds water better than sand.

Clay Soil - Clay is the smallest particle amongst the other two types of soil. The particles in this soil are tightly packed together with each other with very little or no airspace. This soil has very good water storage qualities and makes it hard for moisture and air to penetrate into it.

Loamy Soil - Loam is the fourth type of soil. It is a combination of sand, silt and clay such that the beneficial properties from each is included. For instance, it has the ability to retain moisture and nutrients; hence, it is more suitable for farming.
