Soils Assessment Matching Soil Structure a. granular d. single b. platy c. massive c. blocky __ 1. no visible structure __ 2. soil does not stick together, loose structure __ 3. organic matter; found in the A Horizon;where the roots are __ 4. soil strucutre that is identified by its nearly square or angular shape __ 5. flat, layered strucutre

## Step 1<br />The problem involves matching the types of soil structure with their corresponding descriptions. The soil structure types are: granular, platy, blocky, and massive. The descriptions are: no visible structure, soil does not stick together, loose structure, organic matter found in the A Horizon, nearly square or angular shape, and flat, layered structure.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The first description, "no visible structure", matches with the soil structure type "massive". This is because massive soil has no visible structure.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The second description, "soil does not stick together, loose structure", matches with the soil structure type "granular". This is because granular soil does not stick together and has a loose structure.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The third description, "organic matter; found in the A Horizon; where the roots are", matches with the soil structure type "blocky". This is because blocky soil contains organic matter and is found in the A Horizon, where the roots are.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />The fourth description, "soil structure that is identified by its nearly square or angular shape", matches with the soil structure type "blocky". This is because blocky soil has a nearly square or angular shape.<br /><br />## Step 6<br />The fifth description, "flat, layered structure", matches with the soil structure type "platy". This is because platy soil has a flat, layered structure.
