Any idea?

OpenStudy (narissa):

nope not one :/

OpenStudy (narissa):

will they break down...?

Miracrown (miracrown):

Entropy is the theory that the universe is ever trying to become more random or disordered. If building up a castle from blocks is ordering the system-- how can we cause disorder?

OpenStudy (narissa):

breaking em down

Miracrown (miracrown):

Right!

OpenStudy (narissa):

thank u

Miracrown (miracrown):

A sand castle is the most ordered form of sand, in this example let's say, because its nice and compact and together. Over time, what would happen to the sand?

OpenStudy (narissa):

break apart

Miracrown (miracrown):

Right!With molecules in the universe, over time energy disperses and molecules fall apart or break down. Those are just a couple of examples to picture it
