If you pour sand into a cup(empty) why would it change?
If it had water in it then the sand will sink to the bottom, and not change forms.

If you, for example, poured it onto a wide cup with a volume equal to the total volume of the sand particles, the sand would not spread out to fill the container but would bunch up together in the middle.
