Yes; this phenomenon is called creep and is accelerated at high temperatures and/or under stress.

Difference between fluids and liquids?

Fluids are substances that can flow and have the ability to take on the shape of their container, encompassing liquids, gases, and plasma. Liquids specifically refer to substances that have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. In essence, all liquids are fluids, but not all fluids are liquids.


Why do the changes of state occur in solids liquids and gases?

You breathe gases, you drink liquids (usually water and water mixtures), and you do just about everything else with solids. you live inside a solid house, use a solid computer, etc.You also swim in water for fun.


Can a solution be a solid a gas and a liquid or is it just liquids and gases or just liquids only?

A solution can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas. Examples include alloys (solid solutions), soda (liquid solution), and air (gas solution). Solutions are defined as homogenous mixtures of two or more substances.


Are only solid thing pulled by gravity?

No, gravity affects all objects with mass, not just solids. It also affects liquids and gases.


Is solute always a solid?

Not necessarily. It may also be a gas or a solid. In any mixture, the component that is present in the largest proportion is known as a solvent. For example, in our atmosphere, Nitrogen (78% by volume) is the solvent. This is a gaseous mixture.


Why solid do not mix well but gases and liquids mix easily in most cases?

Solids do not mix well because there shape can not change. But a liquid and a gas can change their form. For example- you can't just change the shape of ice, but you can change the shape of water. Hope that helps


Is there a difference between fluids and liquids?

Fluids refer to both liquids and gases; liquids are just liquids. That is, Fluids = Liquid OR Gas Liquid = Liquid We can see that liquids are actually a fluid.


Similarities between solid and gas?

They both have mass and volume or both are matter (Thats the same thing just worded differently)


How are fluids different then just liquids?

Fluid is basically defined as a substance that can flow. This includes liquids and gases both. A liquid on the other hand can flow and take the shape of a container.Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container, and maintains a fairly constant density.The surface tension of the liquid causes wetting.


How do you distinguish between a fluid and a non fluid?

fluids and non fluids can both take the shape of a container because sand can pour just as easily as water, however, fluids will stay in one particular area, but non fluids can easily spread out because for example sand, grains of sand have their own particular particles. liquids are one in total, therefore they share their particles.


What are the 4 types of liquids?

Mercury, Bromine, Gallium and Francium. Gallium and Francium are actually solid at room temperature, but just slightly above room temperature they start to melt, so they could be considered a liquid.


How are solids and liquid different?

solids hold their shape but liquids take the shape of the container there in
