The mineral component of soil texture is comprised of three types: sand is the largest, silt is next, and clay is the smallest. Soil also contains varying amounts of organic matter, flora and fauna.

How do you make a porcupine model?
i have to make a model of a porcupine for my science project and what im planning to do is get brown clay and mold the shape of a porcupine then get toothpicks and stick them into the clay as quills then get black and white clay to add details like eyes good luck :)
Is clay poisonous for dogs?
Animals can and do eat clay all the time. it's a natural part of their ability to self-medicate. read the book, Wild Health, by Cindy Engel. In that book, she documents hundreds of clay-eating habits of monkeys, elephants, birds of all kinds, and many other animals. Elephants dig clay "licks" in Africa that are the size of small airports, just to ingest the minerals. Birds obviously have gizzards that not only allow them to eat dirt and clay, but they must do it. The famous Parrots of the Amazon are tourist attractions at the places where they eat clay. There's even a word for it: geophagy. Research has determined that eating clay is natural because it is healthful, and animals know this somehow. They can remove toxins and intestinal parasites with small amounts of certain clays, and the clay often adds needed minerals to their diets. Bentonite and Montmorillonite clays are commmonly added to animals feeds across the world.
Name the sediment that has particles that are larger than clay but finer than sand?
silt
How does loess deposit form?
Loess deposits is form when sediment that is finer than sand, such as particles of clay and silt, is deposited into layers far from its source.
What is the correct order of sediment in these materials from smaller particles to bigger particles?
clay,sit,sand
What is the correct order of sediment size in these materials from smaller particles to bigger particles?
clay,sit,sand
What is the definition of clay?
A sediment with particles of less than 4 micrometres diameter.
What particles which are slightly larger than clay particles make up siltstone?
Silt a particle slightly is larger than clay. Also, hence the name.
Is clay the same as mudstone?
No. Clay is the finest size of particle that can be found in sediment. Mustone is a solid rock formed from particles of clay and silt that have been cemented together.
Which inorganic sedimentary rock has the smallest size sediments?
the smallest particles of sediment are found in clay.
How will each type of sediment be deposited as the stream slows down if a stream carries a mixed sediment load that includes small pebbles particles of soil and grains of sand and dust?
Clay
Suppose sand gravel and clay are being carried by a river. As the water enters a lake and slows down In what order will these sediments settle out of the water?
the sediment could change in order bto the types of erosions. as a river slows larger pieces settle first gravel settes first, then sand, and then tiny clay sized clay particles

Which is more permeable sand silt and clay?
The finer material holds more water. The granular size of Clay, Silt and Sand are in this order (smallest to largest):ClaySiltSandSo Clay holds the most water, then Silt, Then Sand.This can be disproved if one is dry and the other is wet or other variations of this idea obviously.*This is one of those question where I wish wiki Answers would allow commas.
