How adhesion, cohesion, and capillary action all enable water to go from the roots to the top of a tall tree

Biology
2 answers:
Kazeer [188]3 years ago

The leafs at the top of a tree are always transpiring water via their stomata when the leaves evaporate water out of the leafs a negative pressure forms this causes water to be drawn up from the roots up a tall tree

water forms small bonds with each other which is cohesion so it can form small columns of water that are drown up capillary like structures called xylem.

the xylem is made with lignin which is insoluble to water allowing it to move continuously  with less friction 

water may also adhere to the side of the xylem preventing it from falling back down 

hope that helps

How many kilometers has the left side of the pacific basin spread in 2 million years
Gelneren [198K]
By left I guess that you mean the western side of the Pacific Basin. There is no longer a spreading ridge on the western side of the Pacific Basin--so the floor is no longer spreading. The seafloor and the paleomagnetic stripes on the seafloor of the Western Pacific were actually created many millions of years ago. In fact, the western side of the Pacific Basin is being subducted--so, the western ocean floor is actually disappearing beneath Japan, New Zealand, etc. 
<span>In the southeastern part of the Pacific, there is still a spreading ridge, the East Pacific Rise, off of Central and South America. And there are little remnants of spreading ridges just off the the Northwest coast of North America </span>
<span>The Atlantic Basin, on the other hand, which has a spreading ridge right down its middle, and has only insignificant subduction along its margin (beneath Caribbean plate), is still getting wider. </span>
