soil separates are specific ranges of particle sizes. the smallest particles are "clay" particles and are classified as having diameters of less than 0.002 mm. clay particles are plate-shaped instead of spherical, allowing for an increased specific surface area. the next smallest particles are "silt" particles and have diameters between 0.002 mm and 0.05 mm (in usda soil taxonomy). the largest particles are "sand" particles and are larger than 0.05 mm in diameter. furthermore, large sand particles can be described as "coarse", intermediate as "medium", and the smaller as "fine". other countries have their own particle size classifications.
