    Yeah that’s right.

    Compacted implies anthropogenic compaction to a soil scientist though. These are soil aggregates with structure, and are naturally forming through pedogenic processes.

    Structure occurs primarily through the shrink-swell of clay as it wets and dries or through freeze-thaw cycles.
