Answer 3

You are probably referring to the three particle sizes of soil, which are sand, silt and clay.

There are somewhere around 20,000 different soil types (called soil series) in the United States alone. There are likely hundreds of thousands or even millions of different soil series in the world.

You may also be referring to the 3 soil types in the OSHA excavation standards- Types A, B, and C- based on compressive strength and cohesion. Your question is really too broad to answer- please refine it and try again.

Answer 4

sand

clay

silt

Almost all soils will be a combination of these types, eg. you may have a silty clay.

Soil type will affect things such as porosity(the amount of air and water that can be held within soil particles) and friability(how loose/easily broken up the soil is), which will in turn, of course, affect what types of crops or plants can be grown within that soil type.
