Dirt is heterogeneous.
yes dirt is a heterogeneous mixture
It is heterogeneous by the fine dirt particles collected above polluting land area. Maybe rainwater from ocean rainclouds collected far from industrialized coasts is about clear enough to call it a homogeneous solution of carbon dioxide (and other gases) in pure water.
Dirt is a mixture. Only what appears on the Periodic Table are elements, and as dirt is a combination of many things it has no single chemical composition so it is not a compound.
Clean air is a homogeneous mixture of nitrogen, argon, oxygen, water vapor and several other gasses present in small amounts. Air that is not "clean" is air that contains dirt and dust, etc, and is a heterogeneous mixture.
Dirt is generally (but not obligatory) a heterogeneous mixture.

It is heterogeneous
Good question. It is a compound (mostly Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Silicon). It is a HETEROgeneous mixture because hetero- means "other" in Greek. If it only consisted of a certain amount of one TYPE of element, it would have been homogeneous. Element is to Homo- Compound is to Hetero-
Heterogeneous because it contains many different substances and is not always the same in composition.
dirt is a mixture
By itself, a compound is homogeneous, but it is not a mixture.To be a mixture, two (or more) elements or compounds need to be combined.And to be a homogeneous mixture, they have to combine in such a way as to not appear separate: no lumps, particles, or layers. This is called being uniform throughout.A classic example of a homogeneous mixture is salt or sugar which has been dissolved completely in water; most mixed drinks (in which juice, milk, and/or another alcoholic beverage has been dissolved in alcohol) would also qualify.
