There is no such "property of water". ANY substance, gas, liquid, object, solid, or mass

travels vertically upward ... "against the force of gravity" ... when a force greater than its

weight acts on it in the upward direction. The statement applies to hot air, molasses, water,

automobiles, airplanes, beach balls in Swimming Pools, and people with leg muscles.

What makes water travel up in a tree?

The adhesion property of water and diffusion allows water to travel upwards, but xylems are the "pipes" that carry that water up and throughout the plant.


What is the liquid property that allows oil to flow upward in the wick of a lantern?

Liquids are able to travel up narrow tubes or threads because of capillary action. This property causes part of the surface of a liquid to elevate above the rest of the surface when in contact with a solid.


How do winds travel?

The wind travel by gravity.


What property of water makes it move upward from the roots?

because of water's cohesion property, which is its ability to stick to itself and it adhesion property, which mean that water can stick to other material, it can travel upward in a plant. also, the plant's tube is very small, which allow water to overcome gravity and travel upward.

How do gravity waves travel through the vacuum of space?

Gravity waves travel as small distortions in space and time.


Do snails travel faster uphill or downhill?

Honestly I don't have any facts to back this up. but I believe that snails travel faster downhill due to the fact that gravity is assisting them. Considering the method of which they travel ( by sliding over slime ) I would think you could move faster downhill as you would not have to push against gravity to move up.


What property of water explains why it can travel to the tops of trees?

Because of its polarity, water has the unique property of being able to creep up thin tubes. Plants in particular take advantage of this property, called capillary action, to get water from the ground. This is how water can reach the tops of trees. :D


Does gravity travel at speed of light?

Gravity wave do, so yes.


How do astronauts travel in space and escape earths atmosphere?

Astronauts travel in space and escape earth's atmosphere by wearing gravity resistant suits and traveling to outer space in a space shuttle that is insulated against the elements.


Can water travel upwards?

water cannot travel upwards, because 1) gravity 2) there is a property of water that does not allow it to flow upwards Water can move upwards by capillary action, forced upwards by a pump or natural geyser, it can be carried upwards and can rise in the form of steam or vapour.


What force against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves underground?

This force is called capillary action.
