When sand is compressed, the air between the individual grains is squeezed out, causing the grains to pack together more tightly. This results in a decrease in the volume of the sand without altering its weight. Compressing sand can increase its density and make it more stable for certain applications like construction or landscaping.

Can sand be compress?

No, sand cannot be compressed due to the fact that it is a solid. When you have a large number of sand in a container, if you pour it, it will flow like water. Most people get confused over that and believe it reacts in the same manor as water (liquid). However, sand is a very small and weak. It can get broken if you compress it. When you put a lot of weight onto a rock, it will break down into smaller objects, the same happens with a sand grain.
