Thus, the cation reaction takes place immediately after adding water to lime in the soil which results in a decrease in plasticity and the exchange of the structure of the soil to flocculated structure. This reaction leads to a change of clay structure of soil with cohesionless behavior.  On the other hand, the pozzolanic reaction causes improvement in the resistance of soil that is treated with lime.

Alfred Wegener’s theory of continental drift theory, states that the continents had moved over a period of time.
