Sand is best described as "fine-grained" and "water drains quickly."
- Fine-grained: Sand consists of small particles, typically between 0.0625 mm and 2 mm in diameter.
- Water drains quickly: Sand has large spaces between its particles, allowing water to flow through it easily, which means it does not retain water well.
However, sand does not retain water effectively and is generally not considered good for growing crops because it tends to dry out quickly and does not hold nutrients.
