Physical properties of a soil
The physical properties of a soil are those
characteristics which can be seen with the eye or felt
between the thumb and fingers.
They are the result of soil parent materials being
acted upon by climatic factors (such as rainfall and
temperature), and affected by topography (slope and
direction, or aspect) and life forms (kind and amount,
such as forest, grass, or soil animals) over a period of
time.
A change in any one of these influences usually
results in a difference in the type of soil formed.
Important physical properties of a soil are color,
texture, structure, drainage, depth, and surface
features (stoniness, slope, and erosion).

Mineral –Serves as the
solid fraction of the soil.
45% of the Soil Volume
Organic Material –1-5% of

Texture
Texture refers to the relative amounts of
differently sized soil particles, or the
fineness/coarseness of the mineral particles in
the soil.
Soil texture is a term commonly used to
designate the proportionate distribution of the
different sizes of mineral particles in a soil.
Soil texture is the relative proportion of sand, silt
and clay sized particles in the soil.
Soil texture depends on the relative amounts of
sand, silt, and clay.
In each texture class, there is a range in the
amount of sand, silt, and clay that class contains.

Density of solid particles (

The density of the solids in the soil (
s) is
expressed as follows.
The density of the solids in soils is found to be
somewhat constant.
It is generally remains between 2.6 and 2.8 g/cc.
The average value is 2.65 g/cc for sand and silt;
and 2.75 g/cc for clay.
