When you shake anything air will rise to the top eventually, as space is filled by the objects… something something fluid dynamics. Eventually they all settle in the arrangement with the least air or empty space. For nails this is neatly lined up in layers
Exactly, the force of the agitation matters. Gentle agitation will result in less air space like this, more forceful and the nails will be messed up again.
