Soil is made up of three basic units: sand, silt, and clay.


By: Brandon Araujo
Clay


Clay is the smallest soil particle. Clay is smooth when dry and sticky, or plastic when wet.


Soils high in clay content are called heavy soils.


Clay can hold a lot of nutrients, and some kinds can hold quite a bit of water, but the structure of clay doesn't let air and water move
through it well.


Most of the water in a clay soil is so tightly bound to the clay particles that plants can't get it loose.
Silt


 Silt is easily transported by moving currents but settles in still water.


 It constitutes about 60 percent of the material in the Mississippi River delta.


 Silt are also known as loess, a yellow, unconsolidated rock.


 Sediments are seldom composed entirely of silt but rather are a mixture of clay, silt, and sand
Sand

sand is the largest particle in the soil. sand particles range in diameter from 0.0625mm (or 1⁄16 micrometers) to 2 millimeters.


An individual particle in this range size is termed a sand grain.


The next larger size class above sand is gravel, with particles ranging from 2 mm up to 64 mm.


When you rub it, it feels rough. This is because it has sharp edges. Did you know that Sand doesn't hold many nutrients or water.
