Question

Why does clayey soil tend to be heavier than sandy soil​

Answer 1

Answer:

Clay particles, being much smaller, pack tightly together, leaving little space for air. Unlike sandy soil, water can be held in the tiny gaps between the particles of clay. So clay soils have little air. But they are heavy as they hold more water than the sandy soils.
