Editing Continuous track (section)

=== Advantages ===
* Tracked vehicles are much less likely than wheeled vehicles to get stuck in soft ground, mud or snow, since the tracks distribute the weight of the vehicle over a larger contact area, decreasing its [[ground pressure]]. The seventy-ton [[M1 Abrams]] tank has an average ground pressure of just over {{convert|15|psi|kPa|abbr=on|lk=on}}. Since tyre air pressure is approximately equal to average ground pressure, a typical car will have an average ground pressure of {{convert|28|psi|kPa|abbr=on|lk=on}} to {{convert|33|psi|kPa|abbr=on|lk=on}}.
* Tracked vehicles have better mobility over rough terrain than those with wheels: they smooth out the bumps, glide over small obstacles and are capable of crossing trenches or breaks in the terrain. Riding in a fast tracked-vehicle feels just like riding in a boat over heavy swells.
* The larger contact area, coupled with the cleats, or [[grouser]]s, on the track shoes, allows vastly superior traction that results in a much better ability to push or pull large loads where wheeled vehicles would dig in. [[Bulldozer]]s, which are most often tracked, use this attribute to rescue other vehicles (such as [[wheel loader]]s) which have become stuck in, or sunk into, the ground.
* Tracks cannot be punctured or torn and are more resilient in [[military combat]]. Should a track be broken, it often can be repaired immediately using special tools and spare parts, without the need for special facilities; this may be crucial in combat situations.
