In soil classification and identification 'M' stands for-

  • A.Clay
  • B.Silt
  • C.Organic silt and clays
  • D.Peat

Answer: B

In soil classification 'M' stands for Silt.

In the Unified and Indian Standard soil classification, the group symbols use G for gravel, S for sand, M for silt (from the Swedish mo or mjala), C for clay, O for organic soils and Pt for peat. So ML is a silt of low plasticity and MH of high plasticity.

Clay is C, organic silts and clays are O, and peat is Pt.
