Soil properties. All soils contain mineral particles, organic matter, water and air. The combinations of these determine the soil's properties – its texture, structure, porosity, chemistry and colour. Soil is made up of different-sized particles.

Loamy soils are the most fertile soil . Loamy soils are mixture of sand , silt , and clay. They have a lot of organic matter. Silty soil can occur in nature as soil or suspended sediment in water column of a water body on the surface of the earth.

Red soils are predominantly found in South America, Central Africa, South and Southeast Asia, China, India, Japan and Australia. In general, these soils have good physical conditions for plant growth although they often have very low water-holding capacity.

OSHA classifies soils into three main groups: Type A, Type B, and Type C. Type A is the most stable and Type C is the least stable soil.

Soil Texture The particles that make up soil are categorized into three groups by size – sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest and clay particles the smallest. Most soils are a combination of the three. The relative percentages of sand, silt, and clay are what give soil its texture.

Soil is made up of mineral particles, organic matter (living and non-living), water and air. All soil is made up of inorganic mineral particles, organic matter (including living things), air and water.

Alluvial soil is found in the northern plains beginning from Punjab to West Bengal and Assam. It is also found in deltas of different rivers such as Krishna, Godavari, Kaveri, and Mahanadi in peninsular India.

OSHA classifies soils into four categories: Solid Rock, Type A, Type B, and Type C. Solid Rock is the most stable, and Type C soil is the least stable. Soils are typed not only by how cohesive they are, but also by the conditions in which they are found.
