Expert Solution

Step 1

Soil :

The term "soil" refers to naturally occurring, organic or inorganic, loose, uncemented, weakly cemented, or comparatively unconsolidated mineral particles that cover bed rock, which is created by the weathering of rocks. Different particles, including gravel, rock, sand, silt, clay, loam, and humus, combine to make soil.

As loam contains the right proportions of clay, sand, and silt, it is the best soil type for construction. It strikes the perfect balance between all of their best attributes to support a foundation.
