PPT-Soil Types and Textures

Definitions Soil Texture The way a soil feels A name given a textural group based on the relative proportions of each size of soil particle Definitions Aggregate Mass or cluster of soil particles such as a clod crumb or granule. – Properties, nature, types and significance SOIL COLLOIDS The colloidal state refers to a two - phase system in which one material in a very finely divided state is dispersed through second p Lvdi.

Understanding what type of soil is present is important because it determines what type of plant will be most suited to an area. . This can accurately predict yields of crops for agriculture. .

Description of the environment . The place we got the soil from was very hot and sunny. We couldn't find any vegetation there. The ground was very hard, rocky, dusty, sandy, and bumpy. As we dug deeper the soil became darker. The color of the ground was light brown in some parts and it was dark brown in others. .
