Water molecules reach the tips of the roots and are absorbed. The roots absorb both water and nutrients so the water molecules are sucked in through the hairs of the roots. Due to extreme pressure in the roots, this pushes the water skywards. This force allows the water to travel up 3 metres of the 90 metres. But alas, there is still 87 metres left to go. Here pull takes over. The pull is evaporation of water, better known as transpiration if in leaves/ plants. Here, the pull process pulls the molecules up the full height of 90 metres and is used as a suction force.
The process which works alongside this "push and pull"action is "capillary action" which works through the xylem of plants. Because the xylem is a tube, water molecules are indefinitely attracted and rise up these walls
What else can I help you with?
Why does hot water escape to the top in room temperature water?
Hot water is less dense than room temperature water, which is why it rises to the top. As water is heated, its molecules move faster and create more space between them, resulting in lower density. This difference in density causes the hot water to float on top of the cooler water, leading to stratification based on temperature.
Why is the stomata at the top for xerophytes?
Stomata are located on the top surface of xerophyte leaves to minimize water loss by reducing exposure to direct sunlight and wind. Placing stomata on the top surface helps create a more humid microenvironment around the stomata, reducing water loss through transpiration. This adaptation is crucial for xerophytes living in dry environments with limited water availability.
How is the water cycle involved in moving rock and sediment from a mountain top to a beach?
Water from precipitation erodes and weathers rocks on the mountain top, carrying sediment downhill through streams and rivers. The sediment eventually reaches the beach through the process of erosion and deposition, driven by the water cycle's continuous movement of water.
What does backwash look like?
Suds at the top but they don't disperse.if shaken they move through the drink(not like bubbles). Adding to the above answer: backwash is little particles (in ex. waterbottles, drinks, liquids mostly) that float at the top until shaken which then disperse throughout the liquid.
Top ten trees producing more oxygen ASKED BY VU2CRD?
You cannot determine which top ten trees produce the most oxygen. It does not go by the type of tree as much as it goes by the individual tree. A tree's age, and health impact how much oxygen is produced.
How does water move to the top of a tree against gravity?
By "capillary action."
How does water move through and on top of Earth's rock and soil layer?
Through condensation and evaporation.
How does water move through and on top of earths rock and soil layer?
Through condensation and evaporation.
What is the main force by which most of the water within xylem vessels moves toward the top of a tree?
The main force that drives most of the water within xylem vessels to move upward in a tree is transpiration. Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the leaves, creating a negative pressure that pulls water up from the roots through the xylem vessels.
Which animal has water move into a ventral cavity and out through a hole in the top?
Fish.
How can water go from soil to the top of a tree?
Water is absorbed by the tree's roots from the soil through a process called osmosis. The water then travels up the tree through tiny tubes called xylem vessels, driven by a combination of capillary action and transpiration, where water evaporates from the leaves, creating a pull that helps draw water up.
Do branches move up as a tree grows?
No, branches do not move up as a tree grows. Instead, new branches form at the top of the tree as it grows taller.
How do you staple water to a tree?
put it in a plastic bag and staple it to the tree in the top as to not puncture the bag. bing bang boom, water on a tree
Why the tree stump continue to grow after the tree being chopped?
Because the top is only part of the tree. The rest of the tree, like an iceburg, is out of sight under ground. The roots supply the top of the tree with water. The leaves in the top of the tree convert light and water into the energy the tree needs to survive. So the tree tries to live on after the top is cut off, and will if left on it's own to heal (regrow).
5. what is most responsible for the movement of water from the roots to the leaves of a tall tree A. Adhesion B. Capillary action C. Cohesion D. Gravity E. Surface tension?
B. Capillary action. Capillary action, along with cohesion and adhesion forces, allows water to move upwards through the xylem in the tree, from the roots to the leaves. These forces help counteract gravity and allow water to reach the top of tall trees.
What is the reason for a tree to die if the sapwood and bark is cut on a tree?
it cuts the tubes to the top of the tree for the food and water
How water and nutrients gets from the soil to the top of a 300 foot redwood tree?
briefly describe how water and nutrients gets from the soil to the top of a 300-foot redwood tree.
