A gas consists of particles having a rather loose molecular structure; the easiest way of saying it is that there's a lot of "empty space" between the molecules. When a gas is compressed (by pressure, or being led into a smaller chamber) these empty spaces are eliminated as the particles get closer to each other.

Why does flour get squashed more than sand?

Flour particles are smaller in size and have less resistance to pressure compared to sand grains. When a force is applied, the smaller flour particles are more easily compressed and squashed together, whereas larger sand grains are able to maintain their individual structure and resist being squashed as easily.

Why do cardboard boxes get squashed by a shovel?

Cardboard boxes get easily squashed by a shovel due to the concentrated force applied by the shovel's edge when pressing down on the box. Cardboard is a relatively soft and easily deformable material, making it susceptible to getting crushed under pressure.
