Triangular Plot

http://rpitt.eng.ua.edu/Class/Erosioncontrol/Module3/Module3.htm
This is a triangular plot to describe soil texture.  There are three variables to classify soil: percent clay, percent silt, and percent sand.  These three variables have different physical and chemical characteristics and the combinations provide soils that behave differently: silt loam, sandy loam, and clay.
