The term "wetting" has a specialized meaning in surface chemistry. We usually say that a liquid "wets" a surface if the contact angle a droplet of the liquid makes with the surface is less than 90 degrees, and that it "doesn't wet" a surface if the contact angle is 90 degrees or more.
Becauseof the steam, when the water heats up it forms steam. is you feel the steam that comes out of a kettle, it's very hot and wets your hand (when your hand is wet it means the hot water has cooled again)
Wind erosion occurs when wind carries and moves soil particles, while water erosion involves the transport of soil particles by flowing water, such as streams or rivers. Wind erosion tends to affect more arid regions with sparse vegetation, while water erosion is more prevalent in areas with higher rainfall and runoff. Both types of erosion can lead to soil degradation and loss of fertile topsoil.
Rain doesn't turn into soil. It wets the soil, then some of it percolates down through it on it's way to the water table. Some of it is used by the growing things in the soil (if any) and the microbial life in the soil, and some of it evaporates back into the air.
It falls down wets the ground and vegetation supply's drinking water for animals some evaporates back into the air mediately it runs into rivers fills lakes resupply aquifers and dams then whatever doesn't make it into the ground runs into the sea in some areas humans collect it in dams to supply their needs, after they are through with converting it into sewerage they put most of it into the sea. In effect all rain watter ends up in the ocean eventually, evaporates clouds, rain, runs of to the sea, and then it starts again.
Snow is frozen precipitation, formed from ice crystals within clouds. Snow is normally pure, and like rain, provides a supply of fresh water. In cold climates, snow can compact and refreeze into ice, forming massive glaciers as in Antarctica. Normally snow falls in winter. It may be produced in large quantities from moist air that is rapidly pushed to a higher altitude, or from very moist air over large bodies of water. Snow is usually annoying to adults because it is cold, and sticks to surfaces and wets them. Snow accumulations have to be removed from houses and roads. Kids enjoy playing with the snow because it will usually clump together. Snow can be made into snowballs and snow forts, for snow fights, or rolled into larger balls to form snowmen and other figures. Snow is recreationally used in skiing, sledding, snowboarding, and with snowmobiles.
I believe It changes the affect on the earth's surface, for an example: Dry sand grains are bound mainly by friction with one another. Small amounts of water increase the cohesion among sand grains. Saturation reduces friction and causes the sand to flow.
Water wets glass because the adhesive forces between water molecules and the glass surface are stronger than the cohesive forces between water molecules. On the other hand, lotus leaves have a rough surface with microscopic bumps that create a high contact angle with water, causing it to bead up and roll off easily due to a combination of low adhesive forces and high surface tension.

The surface tension of water is such that it always wets things it is in contact with slightly higher than its surface - it wants to climb things. This can be seen at the very edge of the water in a wide vessel, where there is a slight upward curve in the surface. In a tube, however, that curve extends to the middle of the surface, causing it to rise, which wets the sides of the tube higher, pulling the water upward until a balance with gravity is reached. This is called capillary action. In a narrow tube, such as the veins of a plant, it can be powerful enough to raise the water level many feet. The narrower tube in your example is exhibiting capillary action, and the larger vessel is not.

There are technological examples of the importance of surface tension. The degree to which a liquid wets a surface or forms beads depends in large part on the surface tension. Obviously, one wants one's raincoat to bead water as well as the wax on one's car. But the opposite is true for a lubricant. One wants oil to adhere to a surface of a bearing. Coatings are designed with wettabilty as a primary consideration. Cloth may be treated with materials to prevent wetting, but that is also an example where the surface texture or roughness plays a critical role. Paint is an example of a coating that would be carefully evaluated for wettability depending on the application. Surface tension of water is obviously a property of the surface and the surface of water is an interface, i.e. the place where water comes in contact with anything else. Surface tension is really a measure of how much energy is require to create a surface of a liquid. (Liquids would rather not have much surface, that is why they form drops - to minimize the surface.) The surface tension of water is large and that surface tension determines many of the properties of any interface with water and changing the surface tension changes those properties. A lot of biology happens at the interface of one compartment of water and another and the entire reason we can even have living cells is a result of the large surface tension that stabilizes a cell membrane. Finally, all those little bugs which walk around on the top of water would have no where to live without water tension.
