==Types== There are several types of friction: * '''Dry friction''' is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact. Dry friction is subdivided into ''static friction'' ("[[stiction]]") between non-moving surfaces, and ''kinetic friction'' between moving surfaces. With the exception of atomic or molecular friction, dry friction generally arises from the interaction of surface features, known as [[asperities]] (see Figure). * '''Fluid friction''' describes the friction between layers of a [[viscous]] fluid that are moving relative to each other.<ref name="Beer-1996">{{cite book | last1 = Beer | first1 = Ferdinand P. | author-link1 = Ferdinand Beer | last2=Johnston |first2=E.
