Question

Why is sand drier than clay?​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal\pink{AnSwEr}$

we know that clay is porous and it has high capacity to store water, hence due to capillary action water moves into the clay and gets stored in it but the case is not same with the sand. so no capillary action takes place and hence sand is drier than clay.

Hope it helps ❤

ᴇxᴩʟᴀɪɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ:::::::::::

↘ Due to narrow pores in clay, water rises in the clay due to capillary action and keeps it damp. Practically no pores or capillaries exist in sand and hence water cannot rise in sand. So sand is drier than ᴄʟᴀy.
