Which is a pair of opposing forces that act on water abs it goes down through the soil?

One pair of opposing forces that act on water as it goes down through the soil is gravity pulling water downward, while capillary action, which is the ability of water to move through small spaces in porous materials, pulls water upward against gravity. These two forces work in opposite directions to facilitate the movement of water through soil.


Why do land and water heat and cool at different rates?

Land and water heat and cool at different rates due to differences in their specific heat capacities. Water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb and retain more heat energy before its temperature changes. This causes water to heat up and cool down more slowly compared to land.


What is Wind and water are agents of?

Wind and water are agents of erosion, transportation, and deposition. They are responsible for shaping the Earth's surface by wearing down rocks, carrying sediment, and depositing new material in different locations.


What is the name of the process by which water carries materials from the upper horizons down on the lower levels?

The process you are referring to is called leaching. Leaching occurs when water transports minerals, nutrients, and other materials from the upper soil horizons down to the lower levels, which can affect soil fertility and the composition of different soil layers.


Which way does water drain in the southern hemisphere?

At some point, most of us have heard that water spins down a drain in different directions depending on which hemisphere we happen to be in. The fact is, the Coriolis force (an apparent force as a result of the Earth's spin) has virtually nothing to do with which direction water spins as it empties down a drain. Although this force is "real" and does have an affect on other large, long lived systems that travel great distances (such as hurricanes, high and low pressure systems, and long range artillery shells), water draining from toilets, sinks, and bathtubs are rendered virtually immune from its affects. The Coriolis force is much too weak to have any affect on such small, short lived rotating bodies of water under normal conditions.

Why do water in the southern hemisphere turn clockwise down the drain and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere?

it has nothing to do with the hemispheres, it depends on the shape of the drain. It can go either direction in both hemispheres

What Air pressure exerted equally on an object from different directions is what type of pressure?

Air pressure exerted equally on an object from different directions is called hydrostatic pressure. This type of pressure is exerted by fluids, such as water or air, due to the weight of the fluid pressing down on an object.


What are those hemispheres called?

What is cuurrent?

Not sure what a suface cuurrent is. In deep water, there often are currents that flow in different directions at different depths. A surface current will flow in one direction, near the surface, while there will be a current flowing in the opposite direction deeper down.

Can taproots divide and into smaller roots and grow in all directions?

No, taproots typically grow downward in one direction and do not divide into smaller roots in different directions. They have a main primary root that grows straight down into the soil to anchor the plant and absorb nutrients and water efficiently.


What is suface cuurrent?
