In Australia, a dry plain covered with closely packed stones is called a "stony plain" or "stony desert." These landscapes are characterized by a surface layer of stones that have been weathered and eroded over time, often resulting in a unique ecosystem adapted to harsh conditions. Such areas are typically found in arid regions and can be a significant feature of the Australian outback.
The condition of material closely packed together is called "dense" or "compact."

The measurement of how closely particles are packed together is usually by state of matter. Gasses are measured as have particles that are further apart than liquids or solids for example.

The density of a material is affected by the weight of its atoms and how closely they are packed together. Heavier atoms will increase the density, while atoms packed closely together will also increase the density of the material.
Some minerals with closely packed atom structure have a high density.
Sediments that are closely packed are typically fine-grained sediments such as clay or silt. These sediments have smaller particle sizes, allowing them to settle closely together and form dense layers. Pressure and time can further compact these sediments into rock formations like shale.

A particle that is closely packed together would typically be in a solid state. In a solid, particles are arranged in a highly organized structure, with little room for movement. This close packing of particles gives solids their characteristic shape and volume.
No there not, they are just closely packed together.
