the reason is because the molecules casing the pressure inhibit the molecules of the material.
You make something smaller. "Reduce" is another word for subtract.
You de-ionize it, reduce it to elemental particles.
In nature, particles can become smaller through processes such as fragmentation, where larger particles break apart into smaller components, and through chemical reactions that transform substances at the molecular or atomic level. Additionally, particles can undergo physical changes, like erosion, which can reduce their size over time. In high-energy environments, such as in particle accelerators, subatomic particles can also be produced or transformed, leading to smaller constituent particles being identified. Overall, these processes demonstrate the dynamic nature of matter and the interactions that can lead to size reduction.
Some liquids that can reduce friction include oil, lubricants, and water-based solutions. These liquids help to create a layer between moving surfaces, reducing direct contact and minimizing friction.
yes. Gases fill any shape/container that they are put in because the particles are spaced out, where as solids don't move because the particles are close together.
Not necessarily. The amount of runoff water depends on various factors such as soil composition, slope of the land, and intensity of rainfall. Smaller particles can result in increased compaction which may reduce infiltration rates, leading to more runoff water.
Reduce in size; reduce physically. Make smaller.
Lubricants are liquids used to reduce friction between surfaces in contact with each other. They help to minimize wear and heat generation in machinery and engines.
Usually liquids (like oil).

Compressibility varies among different states of matter due to the arrangement and movement of their particles. Gases are highly compressible because their particles are far apart and move freely, allowing significant volume reduction under pressure. Liquids are less compressible as their particles are closer together, restricting movement and making it harder to reduce their volume. Solids are the least compressible, with tightly packed particles that resist changes in volume when subjected to pressure.
