Soil is not a solid like concrete, it has air pockets and some soils have more. By stressing or compressing the soil, you are removing the air and are bringing the particles closer together.

An object that deforms when a force is applied to it and returns to its original form when the force is no longer applied is said to be?
Elasticity is the property of deforming under force and regaining shape when the force is removed.
Is it true that When you apply a force an object it deforms for a while then returns to its original shape?
On a very small scale, it is true.
What is bow's notation?
Bow's notation is a graphical method of representing coplanar forces and stresses, using alphabetical letters. In the solution of stresses or in determining the resultant of a system of concurrent forces.
Does gravity have an affect on photons?
Gravity deforms spacetime, and photons follow the curves in spacetime that are put there by objects with large mass (and, therefore, large gravity).
When expansion bellows are required in heat exchangers?
To absorb thermal stresses.
What are the traits of a liquid?
A fluid is a substance that continuously deforms under an applied shear stress.
What are the properies of fluids?
In physics, a fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress.
What are the five occupational hygiene stresses?
Stresses encountered under the heading of occupational hygiene can include:heatcoldnoiseintense lightchemicalsvibrationionising radationnon-ionizing radiation
When solid rock deforms and returns to its original shape it has undergone?
When a solid rock deforms and then returns to its original shape, it is known as elastic deformation. The rock doesn't break under pressure, but instead changes its form, and after the pressure is released the rock goes back to its shape.
What three stresses do earth plates go under?
Divergence, convergence, and grinding.
Do onions grow under soil?
Yes the onion grows under the soil.
What deforms by plastic flow?
asthenosphere
What is soil consistency?
. The term soil consistency is used to describe the resistance of a soil at various moisture contents to mechanical stresses or manipulations. It is commonly measured by feeling and manipulating the soil by hand or by pulling a tillage instrument through it. The consistency of soils is generally described at three soil moisture levels: wet, moist and dry.
Why does a rolling ball eventually stop even if it dosent hit anything?
Friction The ball deforms and un-deforms as it rolls, using up energy.
What is the engineering model of stress?
The engineering model of stress is based on the concept of a material experiencing an internal force per unit area. It describes how a material deforms under applied loads and how it resists these forces. This model is used in engineering to design structures and materials that can withstand various stresses without failing.
What is the layer of soil rock found under the soil?
bedrock
What has the author Maxwell Gensamer written?
Maxwell Gensamer has written: 'Strength of metals under combined stresses' -- subject(s): Strength of materials, Strains and stresses, Testing, Metals, Deformations (Mechanics)
