Soil at the shore of Lake Erie in Pennsylvania has a high sand and gravel content. Which of the following is a characteristic of this type of soil?
A) extreme acidity
B) rapid water drainage
C) extensive producer biomass
D) significant depth before hitting bedrock

These are example of granular (sand and gravel)soils.They are more permeable to water, and therefore can not retain water molecules.They are non-cohesive soil,with high strength and capacity to withstand slope.

High acidity is not a characteristic feature of soil with sand and gravel.In addition, such soil lacks biomass therefore can not support plant growth. The soil type is not a yardstick to determine the dept of soil type.Consequently, rapid water loss due to porosity is the best option.
