These are the small, rounded peds that hang onto roots Platy" The peds are flat and plate like. They are oriented horizontally and are usually overlapping. Platy structure is commonly found in forested areas Blocky- The peds are block -like or polyhedral, and are bounded by flat or slightly rounded surface that are casting of the faces of surrounding peds. Prismatic- Flat or slightly rounded vertical faces bound the individual peds. Peds are distinctly longer vertically, and faces are typically cast or molds of Single Grain The structure found in a sandy soil. The individual particles are not held together.
