= Cohesion (geology)
{wiki=Cohesion_(geology)}
In geology, cohesion refers to the attractive forces between particles of a material that help hold them together. This property is particularly relevant in the context of soil mechanics and rock mechanics, where it influences the stability and strength of geological materials. Cohesion can affect how materials behave under stress, their potential for deformation, and their ability to retain their structure in various environmental conditions.
