Compare and contrast the topsoil of the three types of soil?
Topsoil contains three types of soil particles: sand, silt and clay. Sand particles are coarse. Silt and clay particles are fine. Texture is used to describe the relative .. .
Is clay soil a soil with large particles?
it is true
Which soil type has the smallest soil particles?
Clay
Do all soil looks and feel the same?
soil texture is some what the same there are soils with coarse or rough texture and there those with fine smooth texture . soil texture is due to the size of the particles that make it up. there are 3 main types of soil particle :-sand, with coarser or larger particles-silt, with medium sized particles-clay, with the finest or smallest particles
How does soil particles size affect soil?
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.

What Soil quality based on the relative size of soil particles is called?
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.
What is the inorganic soil constituent with the finest particles is?
Clay
Inorganic soil constituent with the finest particles is?
clay
