Crushed (crumpled) paper occupies more space than folded paper, and better resists being compressed, because the paper material contains irregular folding against the grain, or strength of the paper. Part of the ball consists of flat surfaces and part as "columns" that resist being further crushed. The paper's relative stiffness will determine the actual difference in compression resistance.
Most of the volume of a paper "ball" is "trapped" air spaces between the crumpled folds.
A similar use of the strength of the material can be demonstrated by creasing a piece of paper into a fan consisting of multiple pleats, with a cross-section having a sawtooth shape. This pleated sheet will resist deformation (bending) to a much greater extent than the unfolded paper sheet.

Why does air occupy more space when heated?
air expands whenheated
If bread is crushed does its density change?
Yes. You can make a loaf of bread occupy less space by crushing it. This will crush its structure, which is filled with lots and lots of small spaces. With the material crushed together and the small spaces greatly minimized, there will be the same amount of bread as before, but in a much reduced volume. The density of the bread is increased. And haven't we all, at least at one time or another, crushed up a piece of bread and made it smaller and, therefore, more dense?
Are sound waves included as matter in science?
a matter is something that occupies space and can be perceived by one or more senses; a physical body, a physical substance, or the universe as a whole. that means it is not because it does not occupy space and it is not a physical substance.
How do physicists define space?
Space is the infinite or gigantic volume containing all the matter and radiation in the universe. Generally, two marbles cannot occupy the same position on a Chinese Checker game. The position defines a space. Each marble occupies a space. Things get more complicated when considering the dimensions of space (1, 2, 3, 4).
Why does a piece of paper fall more slowly when it's flat than when it's rolled up?
Because there is more space for air to cushion its falling.
When a fluid increases does its particles occupy less space?
Liquids, solids and gasses EXPAND when heated- the particles occupy more space.
What occurs when two or more waves occupy the same space at the same time-?
When two or more waves occupy the same space at the same time, an interference pattern is created.
Why does air occupy more space when heated?
air expands whenheated
Do solid occupy space?
Yes, a solid, liquid, gas as well as the other states of matter all occupies space. 2. But the space occupied by gases and liquids is not necessarily of fixed dimensions.
Why does air have more nitrogen than oxygen?
because it is light in weight there for occupy more space
Does Green occupy more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye?
Yes, it does!
Does heat and light occupy spaced?
Heat does not occupy space, as heat is just particles vibrating more rapidly. However, if you heat something up, it will occupy more space, due to its particles vibrating over a wider area. Light is much more complicated due to the weirdness of quantum mechanics. Light is made of photons. They're particles but not in the same way that molecules, atoms, electrons, neutrons and protons are. Light can behave like waves of energy instead of particles. Normal particles such as electrons occupy a bit of space and 2 of them cannot occupy the same space at the same time. A photon occupies the bit of space it's in, sort of, but another photon can occupy the same space at the same time. So if you have an electon-sized space you can put only one electron in it. If you have a photo-sized space you can put as many photons into it as you want.
Creases and folds allow more neurons to occupy a limited amount of space?
True
Is column occupy more space than row?
It depends on how many coloumns or rows
What size for a picture is '1mb'?
Usually pictures of JPEG or BMP occupy more space than the GIF which occupies the low space. In JPEG and BMP there is space for the background also.
What happens to water between 0 degrees and 4 degrees celsius?
The water starts to occupy more space.
Why do people use file compressor?
To save space ! Compressed files occupy much less space than uncompressed files, enabling you to store more data in the same space.
