Yes, in fact any substance which has an atomic interface will both gain and lose charges by friction. For example is the wind blowing on the surface of the ocean. There are two fluids (Water and air) which are pushing against each other at a central location called the interface. The wind has a negative charge and picks up positive charges and ions from the water. This causes charging by friction between 2 non-solids.

Does friction occurs only between solids?

No, friction can occur between any two surfaces in contact, regardless of whether they are both solids. Friction can also occur between a solid and a liquid, a liquid and a liquid, or a solid and a gas.


Does friction only occur on earth?

Friction occurs between two surfaces in contact with each other. While friction is commonly experienced on Earth due to the presence of solid surfaces, it can also occur in other environments, such as in space where interactions between objects can create friction.


Does friction only act on two solid surfaces?

Friction exists in all states of matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas. Of course, there is generally less friction when liquids or gas is involved, than there would be when two solid surfaces are involved.


What are the two methods of charging a body?

The two methods of charging a body are charging by friction (rubbing two objects together to transfer electrons) and charging by induction (bringing a charged object near a neutral object, causing a separation of charges).


Does friction acts only on rough surfaces?

no friction applies to all contacting stuffs; air, water, glass, buttcracks. No, friction can be found when two objects of mass touch. Friction can occur between two solid objects, two liquids, and even two gases. It can occur on an global scale, as well as a molecular one. Friction is simply defined as "the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another."


Can Friction occur in a vacuum?

Yes, in general friction can occur in a vacuum, but the only kind of friction that doesn't occur in a vacuum is, of course, air friction. There is no drag force on an object falling in a vacuum.


When does the deposition of solid particles occur?

only when the fluid transporting the sediments slows down or when glacial ice melts


Why is echo only occur in mountainous areas?

Because an echo needs a solid surface for the sound to 'bounce' off.

Why do convection currents not occur in some components of the structure of the earth?

Convection currents can occur in either a gas or liquid medium but not in a solid medium (so you can have them in air, and you can have them in magma, but you can't have them in solid rock) and they only occur when there is a temperature difference, so that hotter, less dense material will rise, and colder, denser material will sink.
