Soil texture is only one of the parameters used to determine the kind of crops that can be grown. temperature, humidity , top soil dept and drainage are other very important parameters, When the question is asked "what kind of vegetation is supported" the simple answer is any kind f vegetation. Characterization of soil texture is a very technical science, and the mixing of 4 characteristics seems a frivolous question or an uninformed opinion

What is natural cause of soil erosion?
In arid climates, the main source of erosion is wind. The general wind circulation moves small particulates such as dust across wide oceans thousands of kilometers downwind of their point of origin, which is known as deflation. Erosion can be the result of material movement by the wind. There are two main effects. First, wind causes small particles to be lifted and therefore moved to another region. This is called deflation. Second, these suspended particles may impact on solid objects causing erosion by abrasion (ecological succession). Wind erosion generally occurs in areas with little or no vegetation, often in areas where there is insufficient rainfall to support vegetation. An example is the formation of sand dunes, on a beach or in a desert. Loess is a homogeneous, typically nonstratified, porous, friable, slightly coherent, often calcareous, fine-grained, silty, pale yellow or buff, windblown (aeolian) sediment. It generally occurs as a widespread blanket deposit that covers areas of hundreds of square kilometers and tens of meters thick. Loess often stands in either steep or vertical faces. Loess tends to develop into highly rich soils. Under appropriate climatic conditions, areas with loess are among the most agriculturally productive in the world. Loess deposits are geologically unstable by nature, and will erode very readily. Therefore, windbreaks (such as big trees and bushes) are often planted by farmers to reduce the wind erosion of loess.

Is the soil type in the arctic silty?
The soil type in the Arctic varies, with a combination of silty, sandy, and peaty soils. The composition can change depending on factors like temperature, vegetation, and topography. Overall, silty soils can be found in some areas of the Arctic but are not exclusive to the entire region.
What are the 15 types of soil?

What is the range of Poisson's ratio for these soil( silty claysandy silt sandy clayclayed sand silty sand?
The range of Poisson's ratio for soils such as silty clay, sandy silt, sandy clay, clayey sand, and silty sand typically falls between 0.2 and 0.5. While silty clays may exhibit values closer to 0.3 to 0.5, sandy soils like sandy clay and sandy silt often have lower values, around 0.2 to 0.4. The specific value can vary depending on the soil's moisture content, density, and compaction. Always refer to empirical data or specific soil testing for precise values in engineering applications.
For which type of soil tensiometer is most suitable?
Tensiometers are most suitable for monitoring moisture levels in soils that have fine texture, such as silty or loamy soils, where water movement is slower. They are less effective in coarse soils like sandy soils due to higher infiltration rates and poor contact between the sensor and soil.
How many types of soil?
There's mainly 6 main soil types: Sandy, Silty, Peaty, Chalky, Clay, Loamy
Different types of crops grown in different types of soil?
Different types of soil include sandy, silty, clay, and alkaline. Root vegetables, such as carrots, beets, potatoes, and radishes grow well in sand. Silty, loamy soils are ideal for growing most vegetables and flowers. The plants get nutrition from the rich soil. Corn, squash, pumpkins, and okra do well in clay soil. Alkaline soils are difficult for gardeners to produce crops in, but beets, cabbage, and carrots are crops that do well in alkaline soil.
What is the normal range for specific gravity is?
for sandy soil it is 2.65 for silty sand it is 2.6 up to 2.9
What is the antonym of alluvial?
sedimentary silty muddy sandy grainy deposited
What soil does lotus grow best?
Lotus plants grow best in loamy soil that is rich in organic matter and well-draining. They prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5 for optimal growth. A sandy or silty substrate is also suitable for lotus plants as long as it is nutrient-rich.

What type of dirts are there?
There are many types of dirt, including clay, silt, sand, loam, and peat. The composition of dirt can vary depending on the ratio of minerals, organic matter, moisture content, and other factors. Each type of dirt has unique properties that affect its suitability for different uses, such as gardening or construction.
Which soil would water flow through faster and thus would erode more rapidly sandy soil or silty soil?
Water would move through sand more rapidly than silt, but that does not mean sand would erode more rapidly than silt. In fact, the opposite is true. Erosion occurs when water runs along the surface of the land. If it infiltrates downward into the soil, it does not create runoff.
