This word has its origin in the Greek language, where it is related to 'to knead'; thus recognizing it being formed from a plastic material that is re-shaped.
What is The meniscus composed of?
Meniscus is not composed of anything its a physical properties due to surface tension of liquids. It is dependant on the: cohesive forces - binds similar molecules together. adhesive forces - bind a substance to a surface. Water for example in a glass tube the meniscus is U-shaped, we say, that the adhesive forces between the water and glass are greater, than the cohesive forces between water molecule, but for mercury, the meniscus is curved downward therefore we would say ..... One other thing in narrow tubes the rise of liquids is called capillary action.

How do glaciers affect earths surface?
When they slide or move across the land they pick up rocks and soil which changes the Ground beneath it.By glacial erosion which is when slowly over time large U shaped valleys are carved out; or by 'plucking' which is when rocks or boulders are literally plucked up from the surface and carried down the valley.Rocks frozen underneath glaciers carve the land when glaciers move
