because water particles are not tightly packed together they can mould to the shape of the container they are in. if you had water in a sealed container and you tip it one way then tip it the other way the surface of the water would always be facing upwards. When you pour any liquid it will slide down the container - the surface will still be facing upwards - and slide into the new container.
because liquids is kind of water

Particles attract each other so they tend to stay together after they fly apart.
All matter is made up of tiny invisible particles
Even thought you can not see them, particles are moving randomly all the time.
Because it is a liquid. The particles in water are pretty much moving like people in a shopping mall, where they can sort of move around, but they cant get really far or anything. But that makes it so that a liquid can be poured into any other container, still holding its shape. And that the water will stay together to pour, but become apart to leave its other container. It will keep its same shape and size but the particles let it separate to pour it into another container. And that's why water pours. -Car.

A liquid will pour from a glass, because the bonds between the molecules are more flexible than in a solid. As you pour water from a glass, you can see how water bends toward the sink as it falls. The bonds between the water molecules are flexible enough to allow the water to bend, but strong enough to prevent it from falling apart. When you through a piece of wood into the air, the piece of wood doesn't bend as easily as water. This is because the bonds between the molecules are in wood are less flexible than in water. I hope this helps you to understand this process.

What are some things that magnify?
glass (depends on shape). water.
What is a properties of liquids?
Liquids have a definite measurable volume but no definite shape. They assume the shape of whatever vessel the liquid is poured into.
Why does oxygen content decrease in water left stagnant over several days?
As the water is poured into the glass, some oxygen dissolves in it. If the water doesn't move, the oxygen slowly diffuses out of it. If you were to pour in the water in a vacuum and then removed the vacuum and left the water stagnant, there would be no oxygen content decrease.
A fluid is?
A fluid is any gas or liquid that flows, can be poured, and takes the shape of its container.
Does a glass float or sink in water?
It depends on the shape of the fork and the material from which it is made. Most non-metal (wood, plastic) forks will float. Metal forks will sink unless they are shaped to have a large enough surface area on the bottom.
Which phase has a definite volume but no definite shape?
Obviously, the liquid phase has definite volume but indefinite shape as it is normally observed that when liquid water is poured in a glass, it adopts the shape of glass prior to any change in volume.
How do you use in a poured sentence?
He got a glass and poured out a drink of water for himself.
Is this sentence right he poured water into the glass?
Yes, "He poured water into the glass." is a grammatically correct sentence as long as the first word is capitalized and there is a period at the end.
What happens when salt water is poured into the glass containing cold tap water?
When salt water is poured into a glass containing cold tap water, the salt water will collect and settle at the bottom of the glass. This is due to the salinity and density of the salt water.
When cold water is poured into a glass the glass becomes colder?
Yes, it is true.
What is the shape of water in a drinking glass?
It is the shape of the glass.
If you poured oil into a glass of water would it sink or float?
it won't cuz
When poured into water in a glass jar oil floats to the top?
The oil has less density
What are the shapes of H2O?
H20 doesn't have any specific shape, it takes the shape of it's containner. i.e : water in a glass; the water takes the shape of the glass
Why is hot water poured to a drinking glass more likely to break the glass?
The hot water will increase the temperature of the glass and cause the inside of the gas to expand faster than the outside.This will exert a force on the glass and the glass may crack.
Does water has a definite shape but not a definite volume?
No, it's the other way around. Water will assume the shape of the vessel it's poured into, but the volume will remain the same.
Why is it that the outer wall of a glass cup is wet when a cold water is poured in the glass cup?
Water from the air condensates on the glass cup. Because the air is cooling down, it can no longer hold as much humidity as it did (saturation).
