Ymorist [56]3 years ago
4 0
Capillary action<span> (sometimes </span>capillarity<span>, </span>capillary motion<span>, or </span>wicking<span>) is the ability of a </span>liquid<span> to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like </span>gravity<span>. The effect can be seen in the drawing up of liquids between the hairs of a paint-brush, in a thin tube, in porous materials such as paper and plaster, in some non-porous materials such as sand and liquefied </span>carbon fiber<span>, or in a cell. It occurs because of </span>intermolecular forces<span> between the liquid and surrounding solid surfaces. If the diameter of the tube is sufficiently small, then the combination of </span>surface tension<span> (which is caused by </span>cohesion<span> within the liquid) and </span>adhesive forces<span> between the liquid and container wall act to propel the liquid.</span><span>[1]</span>

What are some reasons why common names are insufficient for naming animals? answer in a short paragraph form and include at leas
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Scientific names of animals use both the genus and species name, which is much more specific than common names, and gives more information.

For example, using the name cat just tells us that the animal is a cat

however, the scientific name felis catus, tells us that the species is catus and the genus is felis
