Solution

Sandy Soil Clayey Soil
A greater portion of sandy soil is made up of relatively large sand particles, which cannot closely fit together. A greater portion of clayey soil is made up of relatively fine particles, and hence have a less space between the particles.
Sandy soil is light, dry and aerated. Clayey soil can hold more water and is heavy.
