When soil particle size decreases capillary action?
increases
Water moves from the zone of saturation to the zone of aeration by means of?
Capillary action
A force that pulls water up slowing its downward movement is?
Capillary actioncapillary action. - apex
What works against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves underground?
This force is called capillary action.
What force against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves underground?
This force is called capillary action.
What is the product of a capillary action?
adhesion. adhesion.
Capillary action is a product of?
Adhesion
What is an effect that adhesion produces?
Adhesion produces capillary action. Capillary action is liquid's ability to flow in narrow spaces without external forces like gravity.
Compare and contrast adhesion and cohesion using capillary action as an example?
penis
Which property of water results in a meniscus?
Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
What does adhesion produce an effect of when you place a straw in a liquid?
Adhesion produces the effect of capillary action when a straw is placed in liquid. Capillary action is liquid's ability to flow in narrow spaces without external forces like gravity.
Do polar or non polar liquids have a greater capillary action?
polar liquids have a greater capillary action due to the adhesion and cohesion of polar substances such as water
Three forces involved in the upward movement of water in the plant?
cohesion,adhesion,capillary action
What do Cohesion and Adhesion have to do with Capillary action?
The liquid rises up due to the forces of adhesion between the capillary and liquid.. It rises till the extent when adhesive and cohesive forces and external forces balance each other...
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 is capillary action. Why is capillary action extremely important for plants?
Water uses capillary action to "climb" up plant vessels through cohesion and adhesion, which allows the water to be transported throughout the plant.
The movement of water upward through two glass slides pressed together demonstrates?
Adhesion and capillary action
