Clayey soil is composed of fine particles which has very little air gaps, particles are tightly packed together.

Loamy soil is a mixture of sandy and clayey soil along with a percentage of silt. Silt particles occur as deposits in river beds.

Edward and Newton were happy that the know so much about the humus and its importance. Newton now said that I have seen that soils in different places have different color or texture. Edward told Newton that there are different types of soil that are found on earth. Newton then asked that what are the different types of soil?

Edward then made a list of the types of soil in a column on the basis of proportion of particles of various sizes and in another column, he mentioned the characteristics of different types of soil. The columns are as follows:

But he was unable to decide the exact characteristic of each type of soil and match the two columns.

What according to you is the correct match for the above columns.
