There are all kinds of different forms of soil around the world, and they have different features. Just a side note dirt is only soil when there is fertility and life in the dirt. Darren is able to measure the mixture of, clay, silt, and sand to identify the soil sample.

Answer:

The soil sample is loamy sand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. The sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

Sandy loam soils have a high concentration of sand that gives them a gritty feel.
