Yes and no. The shape can affect how efficiently the water is being heated and how efficiently the evaporated water can escape a vessel. An almost completely sealed water container will show very little signs of evaporation because any water that evaporates will soon condense back into the container. The evaporation is still happening, it's just not as observable or relevant because the evaporation cannot leave the system efficiently.
Yes. The more surface that is exposed to above-freezing temperatures would affect the rate of melt.
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
gases takes the shape and volume of the container
All liquids have a fixed volume and takes the shape of its Container.
Yes, the shape of a liquid takes on the container's shape.
no
A liquid takes up the shape of a container without its volume changing.
Something that takes the shape of the container it is in. E.g. Water takes the shape of the container which it is in.
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
It doesn't! It takes the shape of whatever container you put it in. At least, it takes the shape of the floor of the container.
Liquids and gases will "take the shape" of their container.
Liquids and gases will "take the shape" of their container.
A gas or a plasma takes on the entire size (volume) and shape of its container. A liquid takes the shape of its container but always has a definite size (volume) and may not completely fill its container.
No definite shape, it takes the shape of the container
Substances which take the shape of a container are said to have an "Indefinite Shape" or fluids
water
gases takes the shape and volume of the container
