How to Survive an Abduction or Hostage Situation. Community Q&A. One minute you're getting in your car to go to work and the next you're bound and gagged in the back of a speeding van.

Soil Texture and Soil Structure. Soil texture and soil structure are both unique properties of the soil that will have a profound effect on the behavior of soils, such as water holding capacity, nutrient retention and supply, drainage, and nutrient leaching.
This course-textured soil is comprised of sand particles between medium- and coarse-sized particles. Clayey or fine textured soil has clay particles that are also the smallest particles of the three types, and the physical properties of soil containing clay makes the soil gummy and sticky. Silt has moderate-sized particles and a smooth, flour-like texture. Loam soil consists of clay, silt and sand sized particles. Soil texture can also be identified by feel; clay is sticky, silt is smooth and sand is gritty.
