Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sand has the greatest permeability due to its larger particle size and larger pore spaces between the particles. This allows water to move more easily through the soil. Clay has the lowest permeability because its small particle size leads to smaller pore sizes and less space for water to move. Loam, silt, and humus all have intermediate permeability values.
