Yes; this phenomenon is called creep and is accelerated at high temperatures and/or under stress.

Can a solution be a solid a gas and a liquid or is it just liquids and gases or just liquids only?
A solution can be a solid, liquid, & gas.
Difference between fluids and liquids?
A fluid is any substance that can flow. Liquids are just one type of substance that can flow. Gases are the other type.
Why do the changes of state occur in solids liquids and gases?
You breathe gases, you drink liquids (usually water and water mixtures), and you do just about everything else with solids. you live inside a solid house, use a solid computer, etc.You also swim in water for fun.
Is solute always a solid?
Not necessarily. It may also be a gas or a solid. In any mixture, the component that is present in the largest proportion is known as a solvent. For example, in our atmosphere, Nitrogen (78% by volume) is the solvent. This is a gaseous mixture.
What are the differences between solids and liquids and gases?
the differences in these three items is that solid atoms are tightly compacted together liquid atoms are freely put move at a slow rate, then the gases atoms a freely just like the liquid atoms but the gases atoms move at a faster rate
Is there a difference between fluids and liquids?
Fluids refer to both liquids and gases; liquids are just liquids. That is, Fluids = Liquid OR Gas Liquid = Liquid We can see that liquids are actually a fluid.
How are fluids different then just liquids?
Fluid is basically defined as a substance that can flow. This includes liquids and gases both. A liquid on the other hand can flow and take the shape of a container.Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container, and maintains a fairly constant density.The surface tension of the liquid causes wetting.
What is the physical state of materials at room temperature?
Solids, liquids, and gases. And if you cool it just a little, a fluorescent light will allow the forth state : plasma.
Similarities between solid and gas?
They both have mass and volume or both are matter (Thats the same thing just worded differently)
How do you distinguish between a fluid and a non fluid?
fluids and non fluids can both take the shape of a container because sand can pour just as easily as water, however, fluids will stay in one particular area, but non fluids can easily spread out because for example sand, grains of sand have their own particular particles. liquids are one in total, therefore they share their particles.
What are the 4 types of liquids?
Mercury, Bromine, Gallium and Francium. Gallium and Francium are actually solid at room temperature, but just slightly above room temperature they start to melt, so they could be considered a liquid.
How are solids and liquid different?
solids hold their shape but liquids take the shape of the container there in
