Describe the different type of soil.
Solution:
Soils can be classified into 3 different types based on their composition, size of soil particles, and other properties.
| Soil type | Particle type | Properties |
| Sandy | Large | Loosely packed, with large air spaces. Water soaks into it easily. Thus it is dry, light and airy |
| Clayey | Fine, small | Tightly packed with no air spaces. This type of soil is heavy and holds more water |
| Loamy / silt | A mixture of large and small particles | Holds water, contains humus |
