Water based liquids are polar which means the hydrogen and oxygen molecules are slightly positive or negative. One of the causes of being a polar molecule is that the water based liquid is cohesive, this allows the liquid to stick to itself. Along with cohesion is adhesion which allows it to stick to other substances. The liquid sticks to the paper towel and pulls itself along as if it were tied together until the full area is absorbed. But don’t quote me on it ;).

Not very sure, but this is probably because the stain is much more dried up and already sticked onto the surface, rather than the paper towel that simple brushed by it for the couple of seconds used in attempt to wipe the stain.

Please mark me brainliest so I can become a Virutoso, thank you! :)

Pepsi [2]

Ans.

<em>Viscum album </em>is a plant species, commonly known as mistletoe. It is a hemi-parasitic plant that grows on other trees.

Birds cause seed dispersal as they pick seeds from parent plant and drop them in other places. Seeds of mistletoe are sticky or viscous due to mucus and they provide nutritious food to the birds.

Hence, it can be concluded that the mistletoe seeds show adaptations primarily for seed dispersion, not for infecting the host plant.

Thus, the correct answer to be filled in the blank is 'is nutritious to the dispersing birds.'

Which surface erosion event does the most short- term damage?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Occurrence of mud slides after heavy rains.

Explanation:

Soil erosion is defined as the removal of top soil from the land and it affects the fertility of the soil. It is also known as soil degradation.

Soil erosion has both short-term and long-term damage. Short-term damage of erosion includes the occurrence of mudslides after heavy rains which is called landslide. It is a short-term damage because landslides took long-duration to happen and when happened it can be shortly recovered using machines.

Hence, the correct answer is "the Occurrence of mudslides after heavy rains."
