The process is called "capillary action". That's where surface tension draws water through small tubes.

Why was the land reclaimed from the sea?
The land reclaimed from the sea is called a polder. The country that consists mostly of polders is called the Netherlands.
What does the left atrium look like?
The atrium is a chamber located in the heart in which blood gets pumped through.
Why are some seas transparent?
Water is not totally transparent. Some light gets absorbed when it passes through water. The longer the distance, the more light gets absorbed.Water is not totally transparent.

What is three mechanical weathering?
Only know one and it's "Freeze Thaw Action" Day: Water gets into cracks in the stone. Night: Water expands by 10% when frozen. The water expands in the cracks and it breaks off some of the stone. The stones that crack off are called "scree"
What is the process by which oxygen gets into the blood?
the heart pumps oxygenated blood back to the lungs
What is the differences of chemical and mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of rock without chemical reaction.Mechanical weathering is also when water gets into the cracks of the rocks and makes the rocks expand.Like ice wedging.while chemical weathering changes the rocks by chemicals.
What is an example of mechanical wheathering?
an example of mechanical weathering is called ice wedging. it is when water gets into a small crack in rock then freeze and expand breaking the rock.
Will the turtle die without water?
No with my research i see no they do not die without water
What is the difference between real mechanical advantage and speed ratio?
the difference between the real mechanical advantage and the speed ratio is -the real mechanical advantage gets affected by friction so the real mechanical advantage gets smaller than the mechanical advantage you calculate. so the real mechanical advantage gets smaller than the speed ratio (because of the friction) and that's why the efficiency never gets 100% efficient (efficiency ; mechanical advantage/ speed ratio x 100(%))
What happens to the force as the mechanical advantages gets larger?
The force gets larger.
Do Gensets use mechanical power while running?
No. they use chemical energy, that gets turned into mechanical energy, that gets turned into electric energy.
What pumps blood to all parts of your body and never gets tired?
nothing
What does the mechanical owl do?
It gets the fuel rod for the spaceship
How does water skiing effect the water in a river?
The boat has fuel in it so the water gets poluted and without the boat you won't be able to water ski
How do salts get removed from the seawater?
Seawater is trapped in huge areas called saltpans with every change of tide and also by using pumps. The water gets evaporated leaving salt behind.
Can frost cause mechanical weathering?
Any water that gets into cracks or crevices in rocks can cause mechanical weathering when it freezes on a cold morning. The water expands as it cools causing the rock around it to crack. A repeat if this action over and over again will eventually cause the surrounding rock to crumble.
How is underground water formedhow do you get this water?
The Earth is not completely solid, so any rain water gets "infiltrated" into the ground. There are air pockets inside of the Earth called "pores". The rainwater forces the air out of the pores and and fills up the pores. To get this water, out many people drill wells, or use pumps.
