Composition of Soils

Storyboard

The main components of soil include both coarse and fine sand, silt, and clay. The proportion of these three components varies depending on the type of soil. Due to significant differences in particle size among these components, spaces known as pores are formed. These pores can accommodate or facilitate the flow of water, which in turn affects the moisture content of the unsaturated part of the soil.
