Question

a soil sample contains 75% silt, 10% sand, and 15% clay. what type of soil do you have? silt loam sandy clay clay

Explanation:

Silt loam soil has a composition where silt is the dominant component (usually more than 50%), with smaller amounts of sand and clay. In this soil sample, silt is 75% (dominant), sand is 10%, and clay is 15%, which matches the general composition range for silt loam. Sandy clay would have more sand relative to the given sample's sand percentage (10% is low for sandy - clay categorization which typically has more sand influence). Clay soil would have a much higher clay percentage (usually 40% or more) than the 15% given here.

Answer:

silt loam
