Which type of soil holds the least of water?
surface soil
Can top soil hold water?
yes. topsoil always has some water in it. The amount varies with soil type. from 4 to 10 cm. of soil per cm. of water. That is how plants stay alive between rainfalls.
What type of soil is best suitable for flower production?
Loamy soil is the best. It retains just the right amount of water. Clay soil holds too much water, while sandy soil doesn't hold enough.
Is type c soil the least stable soil?
True
What are the differences between garden soil and clayey soil and sandy soil?
There are three basic types of soil, sandy soil, clay soil and garden soil. Clay soil is full of clay hence the name of the soil is clay soil. This type of soil is thick and it can hold water well but it is hard for plants to absorb nutrients because the soil is too thick. Sandy soil is full of sand . It is very easy for plants to absorb nutrients form this soil but it doesn't hold water well. Garden soil combines the two different kinds of other soil. It can hold water well as well as it gives the plants more nutrients too.
Which type of soil holds the least of water?
surface soil
Which type of soil holds plenty of water?
Clayey soil hold the most water of all, as sand and chalk. Loamy soil holds water but not as much as clayey.

What is the ability of a matirial to hold liquid in to a certain extain?
Water holding capacity of soil is just that, the specific ability of a particular type of soil to hold water against the force of gravity. Different types of soils have difference capacities, for example a sand soil had a lower capacity to hold water when compared to a clay soil. The nature of the soil, composition of the soil, amount of organic component and size of the soil particles determine its ability to retain water. Water molecules are held closely to the individual soil particles by forces of cohesion. The maximum amount of water a soil can hold before it is saturated and starts to loose water by gravity is known as "field capacity"

What type of soil will hold the most water clay or silt?
clay because it has the smallest particles thus making it difficult for water to travel through.
