How can the water holding capacity of clayey soil be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: High

Clayey soil has very fine particles and very small pore spaces. Water does not drain through it quickly, so it remains in the soil for a longer time; therefore, clayey soil has high water-holding capacity. In contrast, sandy soil has larger particles and drains water quickly, so it holds less water. Exam tip: smaller particles and pores usually mean greater water retention.
