Types of Soil
Across
- 2. Soil Heavy, compacted texture with excellent water retention; can be challenging for root growth.
- 3. Loam A well-balanced mix of sand, silt, and organic matter, offering good drainage and fertility.
- 5. Soil Fine-textured soil with good fertility, prone to compaction; found in riverbanks and floodplains.
- 8. Soil Deposited by rivers and streams, rich in minerals and nutrients; ideal for agriculture.
- 9. Loam A combination of clay and loam, offering good fertility and drainage; suitable for various plants.
- 11. Soil Found in mountainous regions, characterized by rock fragments and organic matter; varies in composition.
- 12. Soil Rich, dark soil with high organic matter content, often found in wetlands; good for moisture-loving plants.

- 2. Soil High pH soil with good drainage, typically found in areas with chalk or limestone deposits.
- 4. Soil Rich, dark soil with high fertility, often found in grasslands; suitable for a variety of crops.
- 5. Soil Contains high levels of salt, limiting plant growth; common in coastal regions and arid areas.
- 6. Soil A balanced combination of sand, silt, and clay, providing good drainage, fertility, and structure.
- 7. Soil Loose, gritty texture with good drainage, often found in coastal areas; suitable for drought-tolerant plants.
