Question

what are the three main particles of soil are? How do these shape and influence the type of soil we observe and its uses?

Answer 1

Answer:

Soil particles vary greatly in size, and soil scientists classify soil particles into sand, silt, and clay. Texture indicates the relative content of particles of various sizes, such as sand, silt and clay in the soil. Texture influences the ease with which soil can be worked, the amount of water and air it holds, and the rate at which water can enter and move through soil. Soil provides plants with foothold for their roots and holds the necessary nutrients for plants to grow; it filters the rainwater and regulates the discharge of excess rainwater, preventing flooding; it is capable of storing large amounts of organic carbon; it buffers against pollutants, thus protecting groundwater.
