in equal proportions to each
other, 34% sand, 33% silt and
33% clay, which soil texture do
you have?
A. sandy clay
B. silty clay
C. clay loam

Respuesta :

Soil texture or soil profiling is referred to as the proportion of three different particles: clay, sand, and silt. The description that is like Judy’s soil triangle is that most small particles, with a smooth texture, are 10% sand, 50% clay, and 40% silt. The soil profiling can be explained as: 1. Clay is one of the smoothest and fine particles of the soil. It has a diameter of fewer than 0.2 millimeters. Clay soil is 40% or more is clay, less than 40% is silt, and 45% or less is sand. 2. Sand is a coarse particle and is the largest mineral in the soil. The particle is gritty and has a diameter of 0.05 to 0.02 mm. 3. Silt is found in a high percentage of the soil and gives a smooth texture to the soil. Thus, the correct answer is Option C.
