After centuries of burial, the compression of the sediment layers transformed loose sand into solid rock.

During the CPR course, we practiced chest compressions until our arms felt exhausted.

The compressive sleeve reduced the pipe's diameter under high pressure.

The nurse applied sterile compresses to the wound before bandaging it.

She compresses the files into a single archive to save disk space.

Researchers compared the compressibilities of several alloys to predict their behavior under stress.

The soil compacted compressively under the heavy machinery, reducing pore space and increasing density.

The porous foam deformed compressibly under the weight, absorbing much of the impact.

The compressiveness of the new foam allowed it to absorb shocks better than previous models.

The engineer measured the compressibleness of the new foam to determine how well it would absorb shocks.
