What is changed when matter undergoes a phisical change?

When matter undergoes a physical change (like changes in the state of matter), the space between the particles in the matter and how the particles move change.

Is a light breeze a sediment transporting agent?

Once it is able to move, displace and change position of light materials and particles of matter it can carry... then, it is definitely an agent of sediment transportation.


When you compress matter do the particles change size?

no, the space between them changes.


What state of matter has particles that are moving slightly and are locked in place?

The state of matter where the particles are locked into a pattern is solid. This is the most sturdy state of matter.


What can change the position physical composition or temperature of matter?

Why is boiling water a Heat Energy?

Heat energy is a measure of how fast particles of matter are vibrating. As more energy goes into the matter, the particles vibrate faster. At some point (it is different for each material) the particles move fast enough to change phase. When water boils, the particles change state from liquid to gas.
