Question

which of these has the largest size of particles ? 1. silt 2. sand 3. clay 4. loam

Answer 1

hi there✋✋✋✋

Loam is soil composed mostly of sand(particle size > 63 µm), silt (particle size > 2 µm), and a smaller amount of clay (particle size < 2 µm). By weight, its mineral composition is about 40–40–20% concentration of sand-silt-clay, respectively.

So loam has largest size of particles.

$hey$

Soil particles vary greatly in size, and soil scientists classify soil particles into sand, silt, and clay.
Starting with the finest, clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in diameter. Some clay
particles are so small that ordinary microscopes do not show them. Silt particles are from 0.002
to 0.05 mm in diameter. Sand ranges from 0.05 to 2.0 mm. Particles larger than 2.0 mm are
called gravel or stones. Most soils contain a mixture of sand, silt and clay in different
proportions.  
The size of soil particles is important. The amount of open space between the particles
influences how easily water moves through a soil and how much water the soil will hold. Too
much clay, in proportion to silt and sand, causes a soil to take in water very slowly. Such a soil
gives up its water to plants slowly. These soils are sticky when wet.
