Answer

The Bridgman effect is a phenomenon in which a liquid is transformed into a solid by the application of pressure. The effect is named after Percy Williams Bridgman, who first described it in 1914. The Bridgman effect is caused by the fact that the density of a liquid increases with pressure, and when the density of a liquid becomes high enough, it will solidify.
