A fluid is a substance that continually deforms when shear force is applied to it. Which sand does. Sand can also be moved with fluid handling equipment like pumps, pipes, hoses and tanks.
It would be very difficult to "prove" sand isn't a fluid because it acts exactly like one. There are "solid" fluids like Gelatin and silly putty...it'd be easier to prove sand is a fluid than to prove it isn't one.

Why fluids do not sustain shear stress?
Fluids do not sustain shear stress because they undergo continuous deformation under applied shear forces. Unlike solids that have a defined shape and can resist shear stress, fluids flow and deform when subjected to shear, resulting in no sustained shear stress. This behavior is a fundamental property of fluids known as viscosity.
Only liquids can be classified as fluids?
No. A fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. All gases are fluids, but not all liquids are fluids. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic solids.
How do fluids become solids?
Fluids can become solids through processes such as freezing, crystallization, or solidification. When a fluid cools down, its molecules lose energy and begin to bond together, forming a solid structure. Additionally, evaporation can lead to solid formation when dissolved substances concentrate and crystallize as the liquid evaporates. These changes often involve a transition in the arrangement and movement of molecules from a disordered state in the fluid to a more ordered state in the solid.
Why is liquid easy to pour?
It is easy to pour a liquid rather than solids because the molecule makeup of fluid is less packed than the molecule makeup of solids. In other words, the molecules of solids are more tightly packed than of fluids.
What happens to your body fluids when you die?
Your bodily fluids go through the same decomposition process that your tissues and organs go through. Eventually the water will run off or evaporate and the solids will be recycled by saprophytes.
Why solids are not called fluids?
Solids are not called fluids because solids have a fixed shape and volume, while fluids can change shape and flow to fill the container they are in. Solids have particles that are tightly packed together and vibrate in place, whereas fluids have particles that are able to move past each other.
What is the process to separate solids and fluids called?
One way to separate solids and fluids is through filtration. Pour the mixture through a filter and the solids will be trapped in the filter.
What is the difference between fluids and solids?
Fluids can flow and take the shape of their container, while solids have a fixed shape and volume. The particles in fluids are not tightly packed and can move past each other, whereas the particles in solids are closely packed and vibrate in place. Examples of fluids include water and air, while examples of solids include wood and metal.
What is a medium sound can travel through?
Fluids and solids
What is the medical term meaning Solids and fluids return to the mouth from the stomach?
Regurgitation or vomiting is the return of solids and fluids from the stomach back to the mouth.
What has the author Reginald Cyril Stanley written?
Reginald Cyril Stanley has written: 'Mechanical properties of solids andfluids' -- subject(s): Analytic Mechanics 'Mechanical properties of solids and fluids' -- subject(s): Fluids, Materials, Solids
How does heat flow in solids and fluids?
Either by conduction or convection?
What can people do to create sounds?
Anything that creates vibrations in solids and fluids.
What are examples of non fluids?
Some examples of non-fluids are solids (such as ice, wood, and metal) and gases (such as air, oxygen, and carbon dioxide). These substances do not flow and have definite shapes or volumes.
Why does transfer of heat not take place in fluids?
Wrong, transfer of heat does take place in fluids. In fact it can take place more efficiently in fluids than in solids because convection is possible in fluids.
How fluids can be distinguished upon solid?

Why are both liquids and solids called fluids?
Fluids are neither solids nor liquids. Fluids are a form between solids and liquids. Fluids donot exhibit a fixed shape like solids do and also are not free flowing as liquids are. Fluids, while maintaining their total volume can flow freely upto a certain extent. Though not very accurate, a fluid behaves some what like ketchup :)
