The basic composition of soil
Our ground or soil is made up of 3 main components: soil particles, water, and air. Whether these 3 components are more or less, they affect the strength of the soil. (Usually, the ground has little water and air penetration. It will be stronger than the ground that has a lot of water and air. because there is little space between the soil grains)
In addition, the difference in area also affects the properties of the soil. Because if the soil is in an environment with a lot of water, such as near a river. It may mean that the ground in that area will have a trend. That there will be a lot of water particles in the soil. (However, to know this, we must go down and survey the area.)
