Answer:

Adhesion and surface tension

Explanation:

Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise or fall in a narrow tube. Two main terms are required to explain capillary action; adhesion and cohesion.

Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind while adhesion is the force of attraction between molecules of different kinds.

Forces of adhesion causes water to move up in a capillary tube. The water is held as it rises by surface tension forces acting on the circumference of the meniscus. The water keeps rising in the tube until the weight of the water drawn up in the tube balances the surface tension acting at the top column of the water.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that this scenario demonstrates the Co-variation between variables. This refers to the measure of how much two seemingly random variables vary together as opposed to separately which would otherwise be variance. Which explains why when one variable changes in value the other changes in an un-correlated way.

Which would likely absorb the least solar radiation?
Ahat [919]

C. Clouds

Explanation - The solar radiation is absorbed by the earth that keeps the atmosphere or the environment of the planet warm. Clouds do not absorb, rather reflects the solar radiation thereby keeping the earth's surface cool.

Thin clouds allows the transmission of the incoming solar radiation towards the earth. Sweater is not involved in maintaining the temperature of the earth. It just keeps our body warm by absorbing solar radiation. Mountains also absorbs solar radiation and helps the plants to grow and animals to live.
