From the physical point of view a soil tnay be pictured as being mnde up of mechanical ?nd s tructural elements. The mechani cal elements are the ind iv idua l primrry particles of various sizes such as sand, silt and clay. The structural elements are crumbs or granules of various dimensions which to ve been formed by the aggregation of smf.ller mechanical elements. They are primarily responsible for all structure relationships.
