Predict what type of soil you think is in your local area (mostly sand, silt, clay, or mixed) and if it more acidic, more alkaline, or neutral.

Based on my location in the Pacific Northwest, I would predict that the soil in my local area is likely a mix of sand, silt, and clay. The region is known for its diverse soil types due to the varying landscapes and geological formations.

In terms of pH level, I would expect the soil to be more acidic. The Pacific Northwest is known for its lush forests and abundant rainfall, which can contribute to acidic soil conditions. Additionally, the presence of coniferous trees in the region can further contribute to acidity in the soil due to their needle litter.
