Question
what is demonstrated by water moving up a straw?
evaporation and condensation
sublimation and deposition
cohesion and adhesion
precipitation and transpiration
Brief Explanations
When water moves up a straw, adhesion (water molecules sticking to the straw's surface) and cohesion (water molecules sticking to each other) work together to pull the water column upward against gravity. The other options describe unrelated phase changes or hydrological cycle processes that do not explain this phenomenon.
