No. Only liquids and gases are considered fluids because they are able to be compressed. This is because their molecules are spaced out and have the ability to move closer. Ice is a solid, thus having a fixed shape and unable to be compressed.

Which statement is true regarding the motion of liquid water molecules and ice molecules?

Liquid water molecules have more kinetic energy and are moving more freely than ice molecules, which are in a more ordered and rigid structure. As a result, liquid water flows more easily compared to ice, which is more solid and less fluid.


Why don't floating ice cubes raise the water level when they melt?

cause whhen ice melts it turns to water that all i should have to say **The previous answer is nonsense. If the dough (or whatever other material you wish to use) is floating in a full cup of water with ice, as the ice melts the level of the cup WILL NOT RISE. Simple physics, ice is less dense than water. Density is equal to mass divided by volume or Density = Mass/Volume Therefore, differentiating between equal masses of water and ice, the melted ice will have LESS volume than the equal (mass) amount of water in the glass thereby having no effect on the overall volume of water in the glass..... to paraphrase the first answer-er ... 'duh'

How are tectonic plates like ice cubes in a bowl of punch?

Tectonic plates and ice cubes in a bowl of punch are both floating on a less dense material. Just like how ice cubes in punch float on the liquid because they are less dense than the liquid, tectonic plates "float" on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them due to their lower density compared to the underlying mantle. This floating behavior allows both ice cubes and tectonic plates to move and shift around.


When ice melts what happens to the particles of solid water?

When ice melts, the particles of solid water (ice) gain enough energy to break the rigid structure and transition into a more fluid state as liquid water. The molecules in the ice start moving more freely and lose their fixed positions, leading to the change in state from solid to liquid.

What happens to the top layer of ice when it becomes a quasi-fluid layer?

the reason why the ice becomes a quasi fluid layer is because so many people skate on it,it becomes broken then the machine runs on it and all of that type of fluid comes out

The solid form of water is ice.


How many fluid ounces per pound of ice?

The weight would depend on the density of the ice cream since a fluid ounce is a unit of volume while weight is a measure of mass and local gravity. Real ice cream (not the supermarket or sugary fast food crap sold in the U.S.) is less dense than water, so four fl oz. of ice cream should weigh less than four fl oz. of water. U.S. ice cream, being mostly sugar and water, would have the same or greater density than water, so should weigh more than water per unit of volume.Also, volume of a fluid depends on temperature and pressure.


Why wont windshield fluid come out when it's cold?

It may be that the fluid is frozen, or it may be that the line carrying the fluid is clogged with debris or ice from rain or condensation.


How many fluid ounces are there in a gallon of ice cream?

Is ice cream measured in ounces or fluid ounces?

Ice cream is typically measured in ounces, referring to weight. Fluid ounces are used to measure liquid volume.


How can you prevent cold drinks from being diluted by ice cubes?

You can't prevent melting ice from diluting drinks unless it's contained in something like a baggie. You can buy little fluid filled plastic "fake" ice in different shapes and colors. They are kept in the freezer just like ice, but when they are put in drinks the fluid is contained within the plastic.


Is ice cream measured as a fluid or a frozen?

How much does a liter of de-ice fluid cost?

Why should applying the ice pack and propping her foot relieve the swelling?

swelling is fluid retention that has accumilated in a small area, raising the foot allows the fluid to flow back up the body. ice pack.....to cool the blood maybe?


Does the eviorment effect how an ice cube melt?

Yes, the warmer the air temperature of the environment the quicker the ice cube melts. Also, ice in a warm fluid environment will melt quicker than ice at the equivalent air temperature.
