What holds more water sand silt or clay?
Clay holds more water than sand and silt. Clay particles are smaller and create a denser structure that can hold water more effectively than the larger particles of sand and silt.
Does sand retain more waterthan clay or compost?
No, because the particles of sand are fairly large so are the spaces between them for water to drain so sand doesn't retain much water at all. Clay are very tiny particles which fit closely together and don't allow much room for water to pass between them and so clay holds water very well. Compost also holds water very well but for a different reason. The organic material in compost absorbs water and holds onto it. That is one reason why people put it around the plants in their gardens, to retain water.
What hold heat longer the sand or water?
Sand typically holds heat longer than water because sand has a lower heat capacity than water, meaning it requires less energy for its temperature to increase. This allows sand to retain heat for a longer period of time compared to water, which has a higher heat capacity and can lose its heat more quickly.
Compare and contrast the subsoil of the three types of soil?
Sand: Subsoil of sand is typically coarse and does not retain water well, leading to poor nutrient retention. Silt: Subsoil of silt is fine-textured and holds water better than sand, but can still be prone to compaction and drainage issues. Clay: Subsoil of clay is heavy and holds water and nutrients well, but can become waterlogged and difficult to cultivate when too wet.

Which type of soil holds the least amount of water?
Sandy soil typically holds the least amount of water due to its large particles and low organic matter content, which allows water to drain through quickly.
