Clay soil is one comprised of soil particles that are extremely fine (0.02mm in diameter). The particles are extremly closely packed, which does not allow much "pore space" with in the soil - making it generally anearobic in nature.
As the particles are very small the clay has a high surface area and can retain a lot of water when wet; on the flip side once it dried out it bakes hard and is difficult to rehydrate. Clay soils also shrink in volume when they dry.
Most plants will not grow in heavy clay soils which the exception of some (roses and grapes) which thrive in them.
Clay loam soil would have more clay then a typical loam type soil. Loam soil is composed of sand, silt, humus, and clay in about an even concentration of each.40-40-40-10% respectively Clay loam soil is soil that has up to 25% clay, 30 to 50% silt, and the rest sand.
Sandy clay loam (SCL) is a soil texture. A soil texture is a specific mixture of sand, silt and clay particles.
SCL can have 74 to 80% sand and 20 to 35% clay. See the link on soil texture for more.
silty clay loam is a substance made of mostly silt alittle clay and a little loam
Loam consists of a mixture of sand, clay, and decaying organic materials such as rotted leaves and vegetation.
It is soil that is mud like harden over. This soil is difficult to work with, and hard to dig.
Clay soil is a mineral soil, yes.
All soils contain minerals.
Clay soil is a dense soil, and loam is a looser, lighter soil with more air space and composted plant matter in it.
Loam is a type of soil which nobody can make out. Maybe your backyard is filled with loam but you will not understand it is loam.

Sampaguita can be grown in different types of soil. It can grow perfectly from a sandy-loam to a well-drained clay-loam type of soil.
The land is a mix of sandy loam (blend of clay, sand, and organic matter) and clay. The blue ridge has the highest erosion rate in Georgia. The blue ridge is also considered to be the most beautiful, scenic region in Georgia.
Sandy loam with plenty of organic matter
Sandy loam soil is good for mango.

There are many different types of loam soils, each with slightly different characteristics, and with some draining liquids more efficiently than others. Different proportions of sand, silt, and clay give rise to types of loam soils: sandy loam, silty loam, clay loam, sandy clay loam, silty clay loam, and loam.[1] A soil dominated by one or two of the three particle size groups can behave like loam if it has a strong granular structure, promoted by a high content of organic matter.
Clay, loam (containing a mixture of clay, sand and humus), and sandy.
any soil can be acidic to a point where lime is necessary. the difference in soil textures relates to how much lime is needed. ie a sandy loam would need less lime to get the same results that a lot of lime would do in a clay loam. check you soil pH first

Sandy loam
Drainage is a reason why nematodes affect plants is sandy soil more than in clay or loam. Clay or loam may end up retaining too much water for the roundworms in question. Infiltration and percolation of water tends to be faster and non-saturating in sandy soils, which offer a drier environment, which adult nematodes prefer for ensuring the next generation's sustainability.
