    Ternary plots (aka Triangle plots) have three axes rotated and layered on top of each other. So when you get a point like this:

    You read it as 50% of the way up the clay direction:

    30% of the way up the sand direction:

    20% of the way up the silt direction:

    So it is 50% clay, 30% sand, and 20% silt.
