A waterspout is an event where a rotating vortex of low pressure air above the ocean can suck seawater up into the air to a great height. the same thing happens,without the vortex, in a drinking straw when you suck.

Does water flow up or down?
i can't flow up
What happens when water flows down a slope?
it speeds up
Where is there less water vapor in the air than over large bodies of water?
The air flow during the summer flows down instead of up causing the water to be warmer. during the winter it flows up causing a breeze to cross the water making it cooler
What will happen energetically to a cup of boiling hot water that is added to a cup containing a cold piece of metal?
choices are: The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to warm up and the metal to cool down. b. The energy from the hot water will flow into the cold metal, cooling the water down and heating up the metal. c. The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to cool down and the metal to warm up. d. The metal will cool down because the specific heat of water is high.
What direction does the xylem transport water?
The flow is from the roots to the plant so the flow goes up.
How does a fish such a salmon breath?
It doesn't, really. Instead of lungs it has gills, blood rich tissues that can pick up oxygen from the water as the water flow over them.
How can water flow up the xylem tube while gravity is pulling it down?
adhesion, the water molecules are attracted and therefore "climb" the xylem walls
Why would you enter a cave and travel upward instead of downward into the earth?
Because the cave is inside of a mountain. Caves are formed by water flowing down. And if the entrance is at the bottom of a mountain, you are going up the flow of the water that caused the cave, rather than following the flow down. +++ Indeed - though many caves are entered at the top, where the stream enters, and there are others with two or more entrances at different levels.
Can water flow uphill?
Water can flow up hill if there is some sort of machine that is able to pull it. Water does not naturally flow up hill it always flows downstream due to gravity.
DID XYLEM FLOW UP OR DOWN?
BOTH
Does heat flow up or down?
Up. Heat goes up.
Why would it flood if there is a lot of rain and it goes down valleys fast?
Under normal conditions water flow in = water flow out. When abnormal conditions such as previously wet ground, no ground cover vegetation, an impediment to water flow in the valley exist the design conditions are exceeded and water backs up creating flood conditions.
