Soil Consists of solid grains that have various sizes. Like coarse grained particles such as boulder, gravel and sand also fine grained particles such as silt and clay. The grains are classified according to their sizes. A size of solid particles ranging between 0.06 mm and 0.002 mm is know as silt. It's just looks like a powder.
