Dear Student,
Sandy soil contains soil particles that are
large and loosely packed This creates air spaces between them The
water seeps into it much faster than the other soil types Clayey
soil, on the other hand, contains fine soil particles that stick to
each other Its ability to retain water is much higher than that of
the other soil types
For further details please refer to lesson 3 of
chapter 9
Cheers !!
