Question

How soils are compacted, and why compaction enhances rate of water erosion?​

Answer 1

The bulk density is increase with increase in soil compaction, as compacting forces squeeze the volume of soil via eliminating pore spaces. Another significance associated with improve in bulk density might be due to compaction is high penetration resistance, fewer infiltration, great runoff, and more soil erosion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Soil compaction occurs when soil particles are pressed together,reducing pore space between them.

Soil compaction reduces the soil's ability to retain water and to supply oxygen to plant roots.When a soil is less capable of holding water yields decrease,water run-off increases and soil will be more vulnerable to soil erosion.
