Answer:
Compressibility is the degree to which a soil mass decreases in volume when supporting a load. ... Clays are compressible. If a moist mass of clay is subjected to compression, moisture and air may be expelled, resulting in volume reduction which is not immediately recovered when the load is removed.
Thus, the clay is compressed when the spores filled with air is expelled.
