GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A fluidwith large viscosity resists motion because its molecular makeup gives it a lot of internal friction. A fluid with low viscosity flows easily because its molecular makeup results in very little friction when it is in motion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Viscosity is defined as the resistance to flow! Viscosity is often referred to as the thickness of a fluid. You can think of water (low viscosity) and honey (high viscosity).

Detailed explanation-3: -More Simply: Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s “thickness” or “stickiness” and is related to how easy it is for molecules to slide past one another. Example: A viscous material, such as molasses, will flow very slowly while something with a low viscosity, like water, flows very quickly.

Detailed explanation-4: -3. The thickness of a liquid is known as its viscosity.

Detailed explanation-5: -Viscosity is the property of a given liquid that describes its resistance to flow. A highly viscous fluid tends to be thick, like honey or cold maple syrup. Compared to a relatively nonviscous fluid, such as water, highly viscous liquids flow much more slowly.
