What else can I help you with?
When water defies gravity and climbs tubes it is called?
It is still called water. The phenomenon that it's demonstrating is called capillary action.
What property does water have for moving against gravity?
Water has the property of cohesion, which allows it to stick to surfaces through hydrogen bonding and capillary action, enabling it to move against gravity in plants and other structures.
What property of water allows liquids to climb?
This is due to capillary action and it found usually in tiny tubes. If the water wets the sides of the tube, it will rise. Water is said to be "sticky" and will adherd to surfaces and to other water molecules.
A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
Does water travel up?
Yes, water can travel upwards through a process called capillary action, where water moves against the force of gravity through small spaces in a material. This phenomenon is seen in plants, where water moves from the roots to the leaves through capillary action.
Which property of water results in a meniscus?
Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
Water moves through a plant because of the property of?
capillary action
What is capillary action. Why is capillary action extremely important for plants?
Water uses capillary action to "climb" up plant vessels through cohesion and adhesion, which allows the water to be transported throughout the plant.
Capillary action occurs when water rises from the water table into?
The capillary fringe
What the hypothesis for the capillary action?
Capillary action will pull water up the stem to the flower and into the petals.
What has greatest capillary action?
Water has the greatest capillary action due to its strong hydrogen bonding and cohesive properties, allowing it to easily move through narrow spaces and against gravity. Other liquids with high capillary action include mercury and ethanol.

What property does water have for moving against gravity?
Water has the property of cohesion, which allows it to stick to surfaces through hydrogen bonding and capillary action, enabling it to move against gravity in plants and other structures.
Capillary action affect the movement of water underground?
Capillary action forces water upward. So it takes the water from underground causing it to affect the movement of water under ground
What property of water allows liquids to climb?

How do adhesion and cohesion explain capillary action?
Surface tension is related to the cohesive properties of water. Capillary action however, is related to the adhesive properties of water. You can see capillary action 'in action' by placing a straw into a glass of water. The water 'climbs' up the straw. What is happening is that the water molecules are attracted to the straw molecules. When one water molecule moves closer to a the straw molecules the other water molecules (which are cohesively attracted to that water molecule) also move up into the straw. Capillary action is limited by gravity and the size of the straw. The thinner the straw or tube the higher up capillary action will pull the water.
How does water rise vertically in plants?
capillary action
