Grains can move closer together through a process called compaction, where external pressure is applied to sediment layers, squeezing out excess water and air between the grains. This results in the grains packing more closely together, increasing the density and reducing the volume of the sediment.

When grains move closer together eliminating spaces between them has accured?

The process described is called compaction, where grains are packed together more tightly, reducing the void spaces between them. This can happen due to pressure, shaking, or the settling of particles.

When grains move closer together when taken out of a sack why do they take the shape of the sack?

I would have thought that once the (dry) grains were removed from the constraints of a sack, gravity would make them spread out. The only other thing would be, is that the grains are moist. This moistness would tend to make them keep in a more upright clump!


Are molecules closer together in cool?

Yes, molecules are closer together in cooler temperatures because they have less thermal energy which leads to a decrease in their kinetic energy, causing them to move more slowly and come closer together.


Do colder particale move farther apart?

No. They move closer together so they can share what little heat they have.


Is the particles in oil move closer?

When oil is heated, the particles may move farther apart as the oil expands. When oil is cooled, the particles may move closer together as the oil contracts.
