Question

that glass is a type of liquid????

julierose got it

if u don't believe me then look at the bottom of the windows of old houses
they are thicker at the bottom than on the top

Answer 1

Yea! Have you ever seen windows in really old houses? The glass is thicker at the bottom then it is at the top because over time, the glass floooooooows down!

Answer 2

Yep, I learned that in 5th grade, that is why in older houses, like over 100 years old, if you look closely at the windows, the bottom is always thicker then the top, because over time the glass moves downwards.

Answer 3

Yes, actually I did. It is really neat to see old glass where the glass at the base is thicker than the glass at the top because of veeeerrrrrrrryyyyy slow pull of gravity on it.

Answer 4

Yes, I learned that from a class on architecture. You can see on very old glass windows that the glass slowly runs in streams downward toward the bottom.

Answer 5

Yes. Because if you look closely at old glass (for example in a really old church where they used glass in their stained glass windows) you'll see a slight bludge at the bottom, it's only because over the years the glass has slowly drooped down.

Answer 6

False information!!! Its not a liquid when its treated at thousand degrees of heat. It's a Solid
And thats not liquid that makes its way to the bottom of the glass. Its the reverse process of the sand particles.
This happens when glass isn't / wasnt treated at high temperatures.
Trust me! I used to cut glass

Answer 7

yes.
If you remove a glass window from a really really old chruch or building, the bottom of the window will be thicker than the top due to gravity, over hundreds of years, acting as a force upon it.

Answer 8

Uh yeah, glass when heated becomes semi-liquid. If you've never seen anyone make things from glass you should go to a shop or factory, you will be amazed.

Answer 9

Glass is slowly moving downward with time. In 100 years your glass will be thinner at top then at bottom. I dont know if I would call it a liquid though lol.

Answer 10

Are you sure you're not talking about what's in the glass.
