viscosity.
Smooth glassy rock that forms when lava cools
The liquid that has the least resistance to flow is considered to be the least viscus. Water is one of these substances.
We all know that glass at STP is a very very slow moving LIQUID. When I recently asked a teacher of mine whet the melting point was he gave me an answer that was well above room temperature. When heard this I was shocked and I was told to find out what the melting point was since "I knew everything." I think the melting point is somewhere around 100 Kelvin. If some one would be kind enough to shed some light on the actual temperature I would be very grateful. yours truly, "lost" liquid, a very slow moving one though.
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.
Density is just one aspect to the physical properties of a liquid if the liquid is very dense, less dense materials can float on it and denser materials will sink into it for example, salt, a moderately dense mineral, can float on mercury, a very dense liquid at room temperature. Viscosity is the next aspect to liquids and probably the word you were looking for when the question was asked. A high-viscosity liquid is very thick. Gelatin is a very Viscous liquid; Water, a not-so-viscous liquid. high-viscosity liquids slow down the movement of objects inside of them. hence why Grandma can make Fruit suspend inside of Jello. Chemical properties are the third aspect. if you put pure potassium inside of water, the water would react and make a fireball. (however it is ill-advised to do so unless you are experienced with chemicals
Viscous.
Fluid or Fluidity
The property of flowing very quickly in liquid is called fluidity. It refers to the measure of the extent to which a substance is fluid.
The property of flowing very slowly in liquid is called viscosity. A liquid with high viscosity flows very slowly, like syrup or tar. A liquid with low viscosity flows quickly, like water.
The property would be fluid or fluidity.

a slow flowing current at the bottom of the ocean means that the ocean is very calm and has no danger to anyone what so ever
It's viscous. I'm doing the crossword too, and even though it keeps saying viscosity, it doesn't fit, but viscous does :)

The resistance of a liquid to flowing is its viscosity.Viscosity is a property arising from friction between neighboring particles in a fluid that are moving at different velocities. In liquids, it could be considered the "thickness". For example, maple syrup has a higher viscosity than water.
The liquid that has the least resistance to flow is considered to be the least viscus. Water is one of these substances.
Evaporation is very slow at converting liquid to gas compared to boiling.
