Examples of capillarity include the ability of water to rise in a narrow glass tube (capillary action), the spread of ink on paper through capillary action, and the movement of water through the roots and stems of plants.
Usually called 'capillary attraction' or 'capillary action' it refers to the way very thin tubes can draw water up themselves without any external changes in pressure or without suction being applied.
Capillary action, or capillarity, is a phenomenon where liquid spontaneously rises in a narrow space such as a thin tube, or in porous materials. This effect can cause liquids to flow against the force of gravity. It occurs because of inter-molecular attractive forces between the liquid and solid surrounding surfaces; If the diameter of the tube is sufficiently small, then the combination of surface tension and forces of adhesion between the liquid and container act to lift the liquid
If the boiling point is recorded when the liquid enters the capillary tube, it will likely be recorded too low. This is because the liquid may not have reached its true boiling point yet, as the temperature can drop briefly upon entering the narrower environment of the capillary tube. Additionally, any heat loss during this transition can further contribute to an inaccurately low boiling point measurement.
Water being sucked up through any kind of plumbing tubes. The key is that it has to be going upward!
Little air pockets or air cavities in the towel hold the water until squeezed out. All the little microfibers in them make them super strong and absorbent also the sponge pockets make them absorbent.
The action of running water is actually quite similar to the action of any running liquid. It moves from one location down to another location.
Capillary is the name for any of the tiny blood vessels which connect the arteries to the veins.The word 'capillary' comes from the Latin 'capillaris'meaning 'about, or of, hair'
The action of running water is actually quite similar to the action of any running liquid. It moves from one location down to another location.
the air in the liquid is blocked off by your mouth when its on the straw so when u sip the flow of air and carbons bring the liquid thorugh the straw through capillary action http://www.answers.com/topic/capillary-action-1

No. Platypuses do not exhibit any form of mimicry.
