Expert Solution
Step 1

On pressing the soil particles together, compaction of soil occurs. Compaction of soil results in the reduction of pore spaces between the soil particles. Soil that is highly compacted contains few large pores and therefore, the total volume of pores is low in highly compacted soil. Consequently, the density of highly compacted soil is also high.
