1. Rock materials that are found in soil are mainly sand, silt and clay.
Clay is less than 0.002 silt is 0.002 to 0.05 and sand is 0.05 to 2in
sand
The finer material holds more water. The granular size of Clay, Silt and Sand are in this order (smallest to largest):ClaySiltSandSo Clay holds the most water, then Silt, Then Sand.This can be disproved if one is dry and the other is wet or other variations of this idea obviously.*This is one of those question where I wish wiki Answers would allow commas.
