Soil floats on water!
Soil is made from three different size particles. Sand, Silt, and Clay. Clay is the smallest particle, and sand is the largest. Sand allows for fast drainage, but does not have good water and nutrient retaining capabilites. Some people may try to add sand to their clay soil to aid in drainage, but create a major problem. Sand and clay mixed together are what people use to make adobe bricks. Instead, organic matter should be added to clay soil to aid in drainage, or to sandy soil to aid in water retention.
The process of dropping soil and sand in a new place is called deposition. It can be accomplished either by wind or water erosion.
Sand has no nutrients and vitamin C but soil does.

sand and potting soil
Potting soil is a mixture of organic materials like peat moss and vermiculite, designed to provide nutrients and moisture retention for plants. Sand is a mineral material that improves drainage in soil mixes. Potting soil is used as a growing medium for plants, while sand is often added to soil mixes to improve aeration and drainage.

It depends on what you are trying to grow. Sand is good for drainage but lacks nutrients, while potting soil provides nutrients for plant growth. In general, potting soil is a better choice for most potted plants as it provides a better growing medium.
Sand is a granular material composed of small rock particles, while potting soil is a mixture of organic materials such as peat moss, compost, and perlite. Sand is not a mixture, as it is a single component, while potting soil is a mixture because it contains multiple components blended together. You can tell the difference based on their composition and physical properties.
Potting soil is probably the best kind of soil for garening be sure to add fertilizer to it.
Potting soil is typically more absorbent than sand. This is because potting soil consists of a mixture of organic materials like peat moss and vermiculite, which can hold onto water and nutrients better than sand. Sand, on the other hand, has larger particles that do not retain water as effectively.
Yes. Soil contains active organic materials which are not contained in sand.
