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)
