If the proportion of fine particles is relatively higher in soil, then it is called ______ soil.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. clayey.
- Clayey soil is composed primarily of clay particles, which are smaller and finer than those of sandy or loamy soil.
- Due to the small size of the soil particles, it has a fine and smooth texture.
- It is generally fertile due to the presence of minerals in it, but the dense structure may limit root growth.
