Write distinguish between: Sandy Soil and Alluvial Soil
Answers
Answer:
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.
Alluvial Soils
Alluvial soils deposited by the river systems are highly fertile and underlain by extensive aquifers resulting in the development of an extensive groundwater network for irrigation.
*Sandy Soil*
Contains finer particles
Particles are loosely packed
It is not fertile
Low water retention capacity
sorry I don't know about alluvial soil
