What is a characteristic of a fluid with high viscosity?

A fluid with high viscosity is characterized by its resistance to flow. This means that it does not flow easily and tends to move slowly compared to fluids with lower viscosity. High viscosity liquids have a thick, sticky consistency, which is why they are often seen in substances like honey or molasses. The internal friction within the fluid molecules makes it more difficult for them to move past one another, resulting in a slower flow rate.

While some fluids may become less viscous at higher temperatures, high viscosity itself is not directly related to temperature, making the choice about temperature inaccurate. Similarly, viscosity does not inherently dictate the evaporative properties of a fluid; therefore, the choices regarding easy flow and evaporation do not apply to high-viscosity fluids.
