The three categories is : Sand, silt, and clay.

silt
Silt is a soil texture, or a soil particle separate. Silt textured soils are used for anything that other soils would be used for, except perhaps the mining of sand or clay.
Soil Texture - measurement of the proportion of mineral particles of different sizes that are found in the same sample of soil (sand, silt, clay).

The textural class of soil is determined by the percentage of sand, silt, and clay.
The amounts of four main components: clay, silt, sand, and organic matter.

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.
