Answer:
1.Texture:
Texture refers to the relative proportions of particles of various sizes such as sand, silt and clay in the soil.
2.Structure:
The term texture is used in reference to the size of individual soil particles but when the arrangement of the particles is considered the term structure is used.
3. Consistence:
is the resistance of a soil to deformation or rupture and is determined by the cohesive and adhesive properties of the soil mass.
4. Partiole density
of soil is the mass per unit volume of soil particles (soil solid phase) - expressed in g/c.c. Most soils have particle density of about 2.6 g/cc.
