Sublimation which is the change in state from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state.
Evaporation is the process by which a puddle gets smaller as the water heats up and turns into vapor, escaping into the atmosphere.

Both derivatives and integrals - two of the most important concepts in calculus - are defined in terms of limits; specifically, what happens when something gets smaller and smaller.
When a wave gets smaller, it is experiencing the process of wave attenuation. This can be caused by factors such as absorption, reflection, or dispersion of energy. As the wave travels through a medium, it loses energy and decreases in amplitude or intensity, resulting in a smaller wave.
As the slope gets smaller and smaller the line gets flatter and flatter (or more horizontal).
It's called waning when it gets smaller and waxing when it gets larger. Just think, waxing a candle makes it larger, and waning...idk, lol.

In a game of chess, the player who moves first gets to play with the white pieces.

Plastic never breaks down it just gets into smaller pieces of plastic. Fish will be eating and absorbing plastic harming the organ systems.

Inertia decreases as mass gets smaller. Inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its state of motion, and is directly proportional to mass. As mass decreases, so does the inertia of the object.
