I would say Sandy soil because the little pieces of sand can fill in the empty spaces that the bigger pieces of sand can't fill. Hope that helps.
What else can I help you with?
Which soil will allow more water sandy soil or clayey soil why?
Clayey soil will allow less water to pass through compared to sandy soil because it has smaller particles and is more compact. This results in higher water retention in clayey soil and slower water infiltration compared to sandy soil.
Which soil will absorb more water-sandy soil or clayey soil?
Clayey soil will absorb more water than sandy soil. This is because clayey soil has smaller particles with more surface area, allowing it to retain water more effectively than sandy soil, which has larger particles with less surface area.
Is clayey or sandy soil more susceptible to erosion?
Sandy soil is generally more susceptible to erosion than clayey soil. This is because sandy soil has larger particles and less cohesion between them, making it easier for water to wash away the soil particles. Clayey soil, with smaller particles that stick together more, is more resistant to erosion.
Which soil will allow more water to percolate-sandy soil or clayey soil?
Sandy soil will allow more water to percolate compared to clayey soil. This is because sandy soil has larger particle sizes with more space between them, allowing water to flow through more easily. Clayey soil has smaller particle sizes with less space between them, leading to slower water percolation.
What are the three types of soil?
Loamy soil, Sandy soil and Clayey soil
Why does clayey soil absorb more water than sandy soil?
Clayey soil has smaller particle size and higher surface area, allowing it to hold more water through capillary action compared to sandy soil. The smaller gaps between clay particles also slow down water drainage, leading to more water being retained in clayey soil.
Is garden soil or clayey soil or sandy soil suitable for a small pond to be dug into?
yes it can
Is clay less porous than sandy soil?
Clay soil is generally more porous than sandy soil because clay particles are smaller and have more surface area for water retention. However, clay soil can become waterlogged more easily due to its fine particle size, which can restrict water drainage compared to sandy soil.
What are the disadvantages of sandy and clayey soils?
Sandy soil is too porous and allows leaching of nutrients below where the roots of the plants can reach it and will lead to poor growth. Clayey soil especially when hard will not enable the germinating seed planted to rise above the soil surface.
Why best to plant in loan soil?
it is best because its texture is intermediate between sandy and clayey soli. sandy is easy to cutlivate but yet too porous to retain water and therefore most soil nutrients, since they are mostly in liquid form. while clayey has the highest water retention capacity but it gets easily waterlogged and therefore hard to cultivate. loamy has both advantageous properties of sandy and clayey and lacks any of their disadvantages. it is easy to cultivate, has good retention and is porous allowing its easily aeration and living of micro organisms which break down the soil even further and when they die, enrich the soil with their organic remains (humus).
What type of soil is most porous?
Sandy soil is the most porous type of soil, as it has larger particle sizes and therefore more space between the particles for water to flow through. This allows water to drain quickly through sandy soil, making it well-draining but also less able to retain water and nutrients.
What three elements are likely to be found in a sample of soil and rocks?
soil- Clayey soil, sandy soil, and loamy soil rock-metamorphic rock, instrusive/extrusive rock, sediments
