Sandy soil is dry in comparison to clay due to what?
Sandy soil is dry in comparison to clay primarily due to its larger particle size. The larger particles in sandy soil create bigger pore spaces, which allow water to drain through quickly, resulting in less water retention in the soil. Clay, on the other hand, has smaller particles and more surface area, which helps it retain water more effectively.
Why sandy soil is dry to comparison to clay?
BEcause sand cannot retain water, whereas clay is very good at it.
Why sandy soil dry out quickly after it rains but clay soil tend to be water logged?
Sandy soil has larger particles, which creates larger pore spaces that allow water to drain quickly through the soil. This means that sandy soil dries out quickly after rainfall. In contrast, clay soil has smaller particles and smaller pore spaces, which causes water to drain more slowly. This can lead to water logging in clay soil after rainfall.
What is the soil profile for the desert?

In which type of soil is bajra grown?
dry and sandy soil
Sandy soil is dry due to?
a lack of water
What does clay soil make when it drys?
clay soil has tiny pieces very close together, it feels dry.
Which type of soil dries out quickly after a rain shower?
Sandy soil tends to dry out quickly after a rain shower due to its large particle size and poor water retention capacity. The porous nature of sandy soil allows water to drain away more rapidly compared to other soil types like clay or loam.
What plants grow in dry and sandy soil?
Cactus/ xerophytes
What kind of soil does Indian have?
Indian Soil :) Anyway, i presume sandy soil, rather acidic and dry.
How would soil containing a lot of sand differ from a soil with a lot of clay?
It would get harder once they clay dry's.
What is sandy clay loam?
Clay soil is one comprised of soil particles that are extremely fine (0.02mm in diameter). The particles are extremly closely packed, which does not allow much "pore space" with in the soil - making it generally anearobic in nature. As the particles are very small the clay has a high surface area and can retain a lot of water when wet; on the flip side once it dried out it bakes hard and is difficult to rehydrate. Clay soils also shrink in volume when they dry. Most plants will not grow in heavy clay soils which the exception of some (roses and grapes) which thrive in them.
