The sizes of soil particles have an influence on its properties.Justify

Dear student,     
Please find below the solution to the asked query                                                             

The sizes of soil particles have an influence on its properties. e.g. Sand particles have large spaces between and cannot fit closely as these are quite large in size. This makes the soil well aerated (Spaces are filled with air). Water also drains quickly due to the presence of large spaces.
On the other hand, clay particles being small, are tightly packed with little or no space between them. This type of soil is not well aerated and it holds more water than sandy soil.
