3. Clayey and Sandy soil
Answers
Answer:
what is 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.
what is sandy soil?
sandy soils are most prone to water erosion, particularly in areas with a high rainfall and where the ground slopes. Fields very susceptible to erosion commonly have shallow channels or rills, or even larger deeper gullies, after heavy rain. Surface water runoff happens when the intensity of rainfall is so great that all the water cannot soak into the soil. Livestock management can also affect the amount of soil erosion and runoff in grassland. Grazing with large numbers of stock in wet conditions can cause serious poaching of the soil and compaction in the topsoil which can lead to an increased risk of runoff.
