soil particle designate the nomenclature of soil such as gravel, sand, silt & clay and further its engineering properties
The size and shape of soil particles determine the way they settle and stack, and this arrangement affects soil drainage, the mix of microorganisms that can live in the soil, and the types of plants that can grow there.
Coarse soil particles like sand tend to stack like marbles at the top of the soil horizon, while finer soil particles like the flat, pancake-shaped particles of clay settle into a dense layer deeper in the soil profile. Blocky silt particles settle in between, although they can sometimes form hard surface crusts that make water run off, instead of filtering down into the soil.

The size of rock particles are important to soil structure because the larger particles of sand allow rainwater to drain quickly through the soil, while the smaller particles of clay prevent rapid drainage.
A. age of soil B. size of soil particles C. the color of the soil D. the luster of the soil particles
the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....

Weathering would create a finer textured soil by breaking small rock particles into smaller rock particles.
The size of the particles of solute do not affect the solubility of a substance, which is determined by its chemical composition, but it does affect how quickly it dissolves. The smaller the particles of the solute, the faster it will dissolve.
Factors that affect evaporation include temperature, humidity, wind velocity, exposed surface area, porosity of soil, grain size of soil particles, soil water content, matric potential, and sun intensity.
Soil structure, or soil texture. The main mineral components of soil are particles of sand, silt, and clay. The soil texture triangle illustrates the various soil types according to the proportion of sand, silt, and clay particles in the sample.
round particles of the same size.
