At very high pressure, solids can undergo phase transitions to form new crystal structures or even change into different phases of matter, such as becoming amorphous or liquid-like. The atoms or molecules in the solid are compressed together more closely, leading to changes in their arrangement and properties.

Why do solids do not stay the same shape?

Because the solid molecules are joined with very high inter molecular force in case of liquid this force is not very high.No. It is because the molecules in solids maintain a regular pattern and only vibrate, or move very slowly


What is the effect of pressure in solids?

For most solids, increasing the pressure will also increase the melting temperature. A notable exception is ice. Although solids are not very compressible, extreme pressure will still compress solids to a measurable degree. Some solids will also undergo phase changes when subjected to increasing pressure - from one solid structure to another. As previously noted, ice may actually melt if pressure is applied near the melting point temperature of the ice (a solid to liquid phase change vice a solid/solid phase change). A good example that most people are familiar with is the formation of diamonds. The tetrahedral crystaline structure of diamonds is actually not thermodynamically stable at atmospheric conditions, but from a kinetic standpoint the conversion back to graphite or other stable solid structure is so slow that it might as well be stable. To get it to convert to the diamond structure requires very high pressure.


Would a se-leave pressure of 1040 mb be considered high or low pressure?

Yes, 1040mb is a very high surface pressure.


Can amorphous solids convert into crystals and crystals convert into amorphous solids?

Yes, but it usually requires changes in temperature and/or pressure, although there are cases where one structure is energetically preferred where it can happen spontaneously. Some examples are:amorphous carbon under very high temperature and pressure becomes diamondthe black amorphous solid form of sulfur spontaneously converts to the yellow crystalline solid form slowly over time, as the crystal is more stableetc.


What if a region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. what is the best prediction about the weather from this information?

Stormy. If a very low barometric pressure system where air rotation is counter clock wise, sits off the coast in the norht east region for example, and a high pressure system where center of rotation is clock wise, moves in from the west. The result very high wind conditions. Air rotating clockwise(high pressure), and air rotating counter clockwise (low pressure) the end result is very windy air between the two systems.

What happens to rock when it is exposed to very high temperature?

Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.


Why does your body have more liquids then solids?

Cause your body contains a very high temperature causing the solids to dissolve into liquids


Can you compression a liquid why or why not?

Yes, you can compress gases, liquids, and solids. However, liquids and solids are MUCH less compressible than gases, and for many practical purposes you can consider them "incompressible". This means that a high pressure will only cause a very small change in volume.


Is it possible to have a very high systolic pressure and a very low diastolic pressure?

No.


High pressure gases?

when the collision between the gas molecules and the container in which the gas exist is very high.....then the pressure of the gas is very high

What is the vapor pressure of KCl?

The vapor pressure of KCl depends on temperature. At room temperature (around 25°C), the vapor pressure of KCl is very low, close to negligible. As the temperature increases, the vapor pressure of KCl also increases, following the general trend for solids.
