Why is sand the most in soil?

Sand is NOT necessarily the greatest portion of a soil mixture. Many areas have "clayey soil" (which are higher in clay than any other component). Some other areas have "loamy soil" (which are about 1/3 clay, 1/3 silt, & 1/3 sand -- and typically considered ideal soils for growing food and many other plants.) Some other areas have "sandy soil" (which is higher in sand than any other component)
