#arenaceous

• Arenaceous — Having the nature, appearance, or composition of sand; rich in sand grains or structurally formed from fine detrital quartz deposits. In a geological and mineralogical sense, it describes sedimentary rocks (such as sandstones or fine conglomerates) or soils whose primary textural matrix features a sandy granulometry according to lithological classification standards.
• Sandy — A regional or archaic term used to describe a soil, rock, or surface with a sandy, granular, or crumbly texture, which contains or structurally resembles arina (sand). In an agricultural context, it characterizes light, permeable, but nutrient-poor soils due to the high proportion of siliceous granules.
