Clay has the smallest particle size. The particles of clay soil pack so closely together that water is prevented from passing through it.

What is Least permeable type of soil?
clay
What is the least permeable type of soil?
clay
Which of these types of soil is the least permeable loam silt or clay?
clay.
Is clay soil permeable?
yes its true
What is most Permeable clay soil gravel or sand?
gravel, permeable is the ability of water to pass through the empty spaces. clay would be the least permeable, it does now have lots of pores or open voids for the water to go through. remember, as porosity increases, permeability increases.
What is the most permeable rock?
Sand. The ability of water to flow through a soil is referred to as the soil's permeability (A) Clay (B) Loam (C) Sand (D) Silt (E) Humu
What layers are permeable loose soil sand gravel hard clay solid rock?
I is Soil. Because of the cracks and spaces.
What is an albaqualf?
An albaqualf is a variety of aqualf - an alfisol soil - with ground water above a slowly permeable clay horizon.
What type of soil has the least pore space?
clay
What is meant by permeable soil?
Porosity determines the permeability of a soil, and this is the volume of water a soil can hold. This number, however, can vary depending on the type of soil (clay, sand, silt, loam, etc.)
What type of particles of soil allow the least porosity?
Sand, Clay and Pebbles.
Which soil will allow more water to percolate sandy soil or clayey soil why?
Sand is highly permeable to water; water flows through it easily. Clay is relatively waterproof, and water flows through it with great difficulty. This is because of the relative size of sand particles as compared to clay particles. Clay particles are extremely tiny, and therefore have much smaller gaps between them when they are packed together.
