How to use "Collapsing" in context?
Collapsing is a phenomenon that occurs when the volume of a material decreases in magnitude or extent relative to its original size. This decrease can be a result of a physical process, such as deformation, or a chemical process, such as dissolution. Collapsing can also be caused by the binding of molecules together to form a larger entity, which then expels its components and collapses back down to its original size. Collapsing can be used to describe the process of any material shrinking or breaking down.
