Let's solve this step by step by analyzing each image and matching it with the correct soil type.
---
Step 1: Understand the characteristics of each soil type
1.
Clay soil:
- Fine, dense particles.
- Holds water well.
- Often appears sticky when wet and hard when dry.
- May crack when dry (like a dried mud surface).
2.
Sand soil:
- Large, coarse particles.
- Light-colored, gritty texture.
- Drains quickly; doesn't hold water well.
- Usually light beige or tan in color.
3.
Humid soil:
- This is not a standard soil classification but likely refers to
"humus-rich soil" or
"loamy soil".
- Dark in color due to organic matter (humus).
- Rich in nutrients, supports plant growth.
- Often seen with small green plants or seedlings growing.
4.
Limestone soil:
- Contains calcium carbonate.
- Often has a pale, whitish or grayish appearance.
- Can be rocky or crumbly.
- May have a chalky texture.

Step 2: Analyze each picture
####
Image 1 (Top):
- Light brown, granular texture.
- A shovel is digging into it.
- Looks loose and coarse.
✔ This matches
sand soil.
####
Image 2 (Second from top):
- Dark, rich-looking soil.
- Small green seedlings are growing.
- Appears moist and fertile.
✔ This matches
humid soil (likely meaning
humus-rich or fertile soil).
####
Image 3 (Third from top):
- Cracked, dry surface.
- Pale grayish-white color.
- Looks like dried mud.
✔ This matches
clay soil — clay tends to crack when dry.
####
Image 4 (Bottom):
- Reddish-brown color.
- Has small rocks and pebbles.
- Earthy, compacted look.
✔ This matches
limestone soil — limestone soils often appear reddish or yellowish with a rocky texture due to mineral content.

Final Matching:
1.
Top image → Sand soil
2.
Second image → Humid soil
3.
Third image → Clay soil
4.
Bottom image → Limestone soil

✔ Correct Answer:
-
Image 1: Sand soil
-
Image 2: Humid soil
-
Image 3: Clay soil
-
Image 4: Limestone soil
> Note: "Humid soil" is not a standard term — it likely means
soil rich in humus or
moist, fertile soil, which fits the dark, plant-growing image.
