Soil Definition
Mixture of particles consisting of one or all of the
following types :
Boulders, Large pieces of rock, usually greater than 250
mm to 300 mm. For the size range 150 mm to 250 mm,
gravel rock fragments is called (cobbles/pebbles).

Gravel, Particles of rock the size of 5 mm to 150 mm.

Sand, Sized particles of rock which 0.074 mm to 5 mm.
Ranging from coarse (3 to 5 mm) until smooth (< 1 mm).

Silt, Sized rock particles 0.002 mm to 0.074 mm.

Clay, Mineral particles smaller than 0.002 mm. These particles
are the main source of cohesion in cohesive.
Mineral aluminum silicate clay is a complex compound
consisting of two basic units namely aluminum silica
tetrahedron and octahedron.
Weight and Volume Relationships
Soil consists of :
1. Granular soil (solid), which may be macroscopic (can be
viewed directly by eye) or microscopic (only visible with a
microscope).
2. The pores or cavities (voids), which is the open space
between the grain-bitiran ground, with various sizes filled
with air and water and if the condition will only beris water
saturation and if the condition will only contain air Jering
(macro scale).
3. Soil moisture, which can cause the soil looks wet or dry or
humid, mainly due to the presence of water in soil pores.
