Soil Type and Function

While their are many types of soil ranging from silt, to volcanic sands, the most widely found, and used, are split into three groups, their uses just as different as their looks.

Silt: A sometimes rough, debris filled dirt, it is the most commonly used soil to grow crops and plants in. Maybe because it's the most common found, or maybe because it is the most protein and vitamin packed dirt, or maybe because it holds water well. The only downside is it can, depending on the surrounding location, be very rocky, making it difficult to grow almost anything in it.

Sand: A very rough, hard dirt, sand is mostly made up of eroded rocks. Not good for supporting plant life because of this, a sandy area is mostly avoided for growing crops or even a small garden. Found around water, which erodes the rocks away, it is what makes up the lovely beaches, ranging in colour from sun bleached white, to volcanic black.

Clay: Found beneath soil, clay is a soft, pliable dirt, mostly used to create things, as it is easily dried. Because of this, only the most hardy, and strongest plants can grow from it. Made into bowls, and mugs, clay is also used to create sculptures, or other works of art.
