All gasses and vapors are compressible, whereas liquids and solids are not compressible to any useful extent. The compressibility of gasses is due to the much greater spacing of its molecules than would exist in its liquid or solid state; in fact, if you compress a gas far enough, it will eventually become a liquid, and then a solid.

The compressibility of gasses is a very useful property that allows us to run machinery and to make aerosol sprays.

Is plunged an adverb?

Plunged is a past participle or the simple past tense. "The door plunged into the water." A past participle can be used as a noun or adverb. "The plunged door remained on the bottom of the lake." In that case plunged is used as an adjective. It modifies the noun door which makes it an adjective. Theoretically it is possible to use it as an adverb. Then it would modify a verb, an adjective, or an adverb. I have no idea how to do it.
