Why does more erosion take place in mountains?
cause the plates are pushing together and against each other
What type of white rocks spark when rubbed together?
Flint can be white, and it will spark when struck against iron or steel, but I'm not sure that striking against another piece of flint will do anything like a spark.
What caused pangaea to separate?
Plate Tectonics. Plate Tectonics are the sub-layers that lie underneath the Earth's surface. They can rub against together, smash together, or pull away from each other. This is what caused Pangaea to separate.
What happens when two tectonic plates rub together?
they form mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes.
What is folding of tectonic plates?
It's what happens when two tectonic plates come together and push against each other. Like what happens when you take two pieces of paper, push them together, and see them come up like mountains
The reaction of both cohesion and adhesion together which allows water to move through tubes against the force of gravity?
syphoning
What are examples of adhesion and cohesion?
cohesion: water's cohesion causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops pf water form beads on a smooth surface. adhesion: adhesion between water and glass causes water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity ice formingon the surface of water bodies in winter
Whats the difference between adhesion and cohesion?
Adhesion is the attraction between two molecules of different substances.cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substances.
Adhesion and cohesion together enable water molecules to move through narrow tubes against the force of gravity how?
This is called Capillary action.
Cohesion and adhesion are?
Information used from Prentice Hall Biology book from the year 2006. Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. Due to hydrogen bonding water is very cohesive. Water's cohesion causes molecules on the surface of the water to be drawn inward causing "surface tension". This property allows insects to walk on water. Adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances. Adhesion causes water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity for example the forces that draw water out of the roots of the plants and up into its stems and leaves, this is called capillarity.
What properties of water help water move up the roots of a tree to the leaves of a tree against the force of gravity?
because of the signals from the tree it allows the water to move..
What is capillarization?
Capillarity is the ability of a solution to rise up in a tube with a very low diameter, even against gravity. It is caused by surface tension, cohesion of the liquid, and adhesion to the walls of the tube.
How do you compare adhesion and cohesion?
Water travels up a tree through small tubes called xylem. As water is released through the leaves of the tree, it creates a negative pressure at the top of the tree. Even though the weight of all the water is dragging it down via gravity, the adhesion and cohesion properties of water create a strong attraction between the water molecules. Another property that helps is capillary action, where the water molecules are more strongly attracted to the walls of the xylem than they are to each other. The height that capillary action can draw water is inversely proportional to the width of the tube, which means that the xylem and stomata can draw water up and incredible distance.
Explain capillary action?
Capillary action is the motion of water up a thin tube against the flow of gravity as a result of cohesion and adhesion
What best defines cohesion?
Water's ability to move through thin tubes against gravity. No, it's the tendency of a group of particles to stick together.
What is the biological importace of water's cohesive and adhesive properties?
As a group, hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together and this helps transport of water against gravity in plants. Also adhesion causes the attraction between water and plant cells for example and water is essential for cellular activities. Hope this helps!
Why is water transported in plant tissues against gravity?
Cohesion
