Question

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

Explanation:

Silt loam soil has a high percentage of silt (40 - 80%), with smaller amounts of sand (less than 50%) and clay (less than 40%). In this sample, silt is 75% (within the range for silt loam), sand is 10% (less than 50%), and clay is 15% (less than 40%). Clay soil would have a higher clay percentage (usually 40% or more). Sandy clay would have more sand and clay characteristics that don't match the given percentages here.

Answer:

silt loam
