The process is called "capillary action". That's where surface tension draws water through small tubes.

Facts about mechanical weathering?

freeze-thaw which is when water gets inside rocks and freezes then it expands inside the rock splitting it open. salt wedging. salt wedging is when the water flow on the rock, sometimes the water has ions and salts. When the water dries the salt crystals left over. They act like a wedge and crack the rock open. From AUSTIN MOODY

How is underground water formedhow do you get this water?

The Earth is not completely solid, so any rain water gets "infiltrated" into the ground. There are air pockets inside of the Earth called "pores". The rainwater forces the air out of the pores and and fills up the pores. To get this water, out many people drill wells, or use pumps.


What is the difference between real mechanical advantage and speed ratio?

the difference between the real mechanical advantage and the speed ratio is -the real mechanical advantage gets affected by friction so the real mechanical advantage gets smaller than the mechanical advantage you calculate. so the real mechanical advantage gets smaller than the speed ratio (because of the friction) and that's why the efficiency never gets 100% efficient (efficiency ; mechanical advantage/ speed ratio x 100(%))
