How does a vascular plants xylem differ from its phloem?

Only flows in one direction


What does high pressure move towards?

Air always flows from High Pressure towards Low Pressure. Wind is caused by the pressure gradient difference. In a high pressure system, within the Northern Hemisphere, air flows clockwise, outwards and downwards; in a low pressure system (in the NH), air flows anti-clockwise, inwards and upwards.


How does volcanoes affect property?

Volcanoes can significantly impact property through lava flows, ash fall, and pyroclastic flows, which can destroy homes, infrastructure, and agricultural land. Ash can contaminate water supplies, damage roofs, and create hazardous conditions for air travel. The eruption may also lead to long-term economic consequences, as areas may become uninhabitable or require expensive cleanup and reconstruction efforts. Additionally, insurance costs can rise, and property values may decline in affected regions.


What is the name of the thickness property of a fluid that creates boundary layers and shear stress?

The above description relates to viscosity.


Are lava flows the greatest hazard of volcanoes?

No. The most dangerous products of volcanic eruptions are pyroclastic flows. While lava flows can be very destructive, they generally move slowly and can only move downhill. Pyroclastic flows avalanche-like clouds of hot ash, rock, and gas. They move very quickly, often exceeding 100 miles per hour, leaving little chance of escape. Their great momentum means that they can cross valleys, hills, and ridges that would stop or redirect lava flows.

What are the effects of volcanoes on plant life?

Pyroclastic flows and lava flows can burn and bury plants. Plants can also be killed by poisonous gasses. Fresh volcanic ash can kill plants as well. However, the soil around volcanoes is often very fertile, so plants grow easily.

What is the property of flowing slowly in liquids?

The property of flowing very slowly in liquid is called viscosity. A liquid with high viscosity flows very slowly, like syrup or tar. A liquid with low viscosity flows quickly, like water.


What is the direction of flow of water in xylem and food in phloem?

Water flows upwards in xylem from the roots to the leaves due to transpiration pull. Food (sucrose and other nutrients) flows bidirectionally in phloem, both upwards (from leaves to roots) and downwards (from roots to leaves) through a process called translocation.
