External fragmentation is reduced by compaction. Compaction moves memory around until it is all placed together in one big block.
internal fragmentation
external fragmentation use in paging
As fragmentation occurs, the interior area of the patch decreases. This results in a reduced habitat area for interior species. Thus, interior species experience a reduction in population over time as they lose habitat to fragmentation.

fragmentation
External fragmentation is solved by any three methods:- 1.compaction:- attacks the problem of external fragmentation by moving all the allocated memory blocks into single unit by combining all free memory holes. 2.garbage collection:- it collects all the memory which is inaccessible and return them as a free memory. 3.paging:-breaking up physical memory into fixed size blocks and than filling these blocks by logical memory of same size.
What is meant by the term 'compaction'
External Fragmentation: External Fragmentation happens when a dynamic memory allocation algorithm allocates some memory and a small piece is left over that cannot be effectively used. If too much external fragmentation occurs, the amount of usable memory is drastically reduced. Total memory space exists to satisfy a request, but it is not contiguous. Internal Fragmentation: Internal fragmentation is the space wasted inside of allocated memory blocks because of restriction on the allowed sizes of allocated blocks. Allocated memory may be slightly larger than requested memory; this size difference is memory internal to a partition, but not being used
The type of sediment that undergoes the most compaction as it lithifies to sedimentary rocks is marine mud. Lithification refers to the process wherein sediments compact under pressure.
