Directions: Using your soil texture chart and example, determine the following soil textures using the percentages given. REMEMBER: all your percentages should add up to 100!
The soil texture triangle is used to determine the name of the soil texture. There are 12 soil textural classes. This triangle is used so terms like “clay” or “loam” always have the same meaning. Each texture corresponds to specific percentages of sand, silt, or clay.
1. How to read a Soil Triangle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAYzoVliNFQ a. The SAND axis reads from the bottom, right to left. b. The SILT axis reads from the right side, right to left. c. The CLAY axis reads from the left side, straight across. 2. Now it is your turn to use the Soil Texture Triangle. Soil Textural Triangle Practice Exercises
This document contains instructions and worksheets for determining soil texture using a soil textural triangle. The triangle shows the percentages of sand, silt, and clay that define different soil textures.
The soil texture triangle is one of the tools that soil scientists use to visualize and understand the meaning of soil texture names. The textural triangle is a diagram which shows how each of these 12 textures is classified based on the percent of sand, silt, and clay in each.

Based on the soil ribbon test, what is the soil texture for each of the soil types tested? 2. What impact will the texture have on the ability of water to move through the soil? 3. What impact will the texture have on the nutrient holding capacity (e.g. CEC) of the soil? 1. Fill a tall, slender jar (e.g. a quart canning jar) 1/4 full of soil. 2.
