Friction is more on irregular surfaces.
The lubricant fills the irregularities and makes the surface smooth and thus reduces friction.
What a lubrication does is reduce the friction by forming a smoothe layer in between the two surfaces.
Lubricants also reduce heat :P Hope That Helped :)
By eliminating solid-solid sliding contact. A solid is defined as a material that can support shear (lateral force). When two solids come into contact, imperfections in the surface interferer with each other and resist slide by their shear strength. Liquids or macroscopic balls of graphite (dry lubricant) flow or roll to reduce shear forces the result in friction's Lubricants can reduce the corrosion particles and reduce wear and tear with the help of molecular participles in lubricant oil.

Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
How can you reduce and increase friction?
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
What are the ways of increasing and reducing friction?
TO REDUCE FRICTION: We can use fine powder on the carrom board to reduce friction
What kinds of substance reduce friction?
Friction is the act of one surface rubbing against another. To reduce friction, use something that offers a small amount of friction. Smoother substances reduce friction. A way to reduce friction is to use something which offers a small amount of friction. For example, you could use something like plastic or glass. Water, most liquids and different types of oil reduce friction. Powder, oil and grease are used in between surfaces to also reduce friction.
How do you reduce the friction and vice versa?
Reduce the friction . . .Apply lubricant to the surfaces in contact, or reduce the mutual pressure.Friction the reduce . . .The phrase has no physical significance.
What is the name for liquid that reduce friction?
Lubricant- something that that lubricates.
Does water reduce friction?
Water does reduce friction, as the liquid essentially lubricates the surface between the two objects. However, this only applies to affecting other friction. It has its own friction when objects move through a body of water.
Why human body lubricates during intercourse. is it good or bad?
The human body must lubricate for intercourse to reduce the friction of genitalia.
What are the functions of fluid in the body?
To reduce friction between the bones. It also lubricates the joints and allows smooth movements.
Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
Does my car need transmission fluid?
vehicles with automatic transmissions require transmission fluid. vehicles with manual transmissions require either transmission fluid or gear oil. the fluid helps reduce friction between internal parts, reduce heat, and lubricates.
How can you reduce and increase friction?
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
Do wheels reduce friction?
yes because when they brake the friction is caused to reduce
What are the ways of increasing and reducing friction?
TO REDUCE FRICTION: We can use fine powder on the carrom board to reduce friction
How does oil keep the engine of a car from getting too hot?
Friction produces heat. Oil lubricates the engine and reduces friction thus reducing heat.
What kind of friction can help reduce friction?
I never heard of friction reducing friction. You can reduce friction by using lubricants, as well as using wheels (as in ball bearings).
How does oil reduce air friction?
Oil is mainly used to reduce friction between contacting surface, e.g., metal on metal - not to reduce air friction.
