Sandy soil
Sandy soil. Soils with a high proportion of sand are typically light brown in colour and loose in texture. The particles in sandy soils are the largest of the soil types, giving the soil a rough feel when rubbed between the fingers. Such large particle sizes means that water drains easily through sandy soils, removing nutrients as it goes, resulting in dry, nutrient-poor soil

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and uniqueness of sandy soil. The image captures a pile of sandy soil, revealing its distinct characteristics. Sandy soils are easily identifiable by their light brown color and loose texture. When touched, these soils feel rough due to the large particle sizes present within them. The photograph highlights the geological aspect of this type of land formation, emphasizing its natural essence. Sandy soil is known for its ability to drain water effortlessly, making it prone to dryness and nutrient deficiency. As water passes through the soil, it carries away essential nutrients, leaving behind a barren landscape. The image serves as an educational tool in earth science studies or geographical research projects. It provides a clear visual representation of sandy soil's profile and texture, aiding in identification purposes. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate this print for its depiction of one element that shapes our planet's diverse landscapes. The sandy heap displayed here invites viewers to ponder on the intricate processes that contribute to Earth's geology.
