​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference between sand silt and clay is their particle size. Sand particles are larger in size while clay particles are extremely fine, and silt particles are somewhere in between sand and clay particles.

We determine the soil texture of a place by analyzing the mineral particles it contains. Sand, silt, and clay are the main mineral particles in the soil that affect its texture. These particles are made from rocks broken down by climatic and environmental conditions over thousands of years.
