plasma is a motional state which causes particles/substance contained in a vessel to over lap in a semi liquid form with coagulating viscosity,pressure forms an environmental catalyst that creates a mass that produces energy because of the energy exerted on it ...... temprature relative to the amount of pressure applied....and velocity related friction....extreme plasma states called frission
