This allows water to be pulled along a pathway with relative ease. The measure of how hard it is to break this interface is its surface tension. Water allows materials to rest upon it if the surface tension is not broken. Pollen, dust, water insects, and other biological materials are able to remain on the surface of the water because of this tension. The sticking of one substance to another.
Water is a good adhesive.
It will cling on to many objects and act as a glue. Capillary Action is an example of cohesion and adhesion working together to move water up a thin tube. The process of soaking into a hydrophilic substance. Water being taken into a sponge, into a seed, into paper towels. Heat is the total quantity of kinetic energy due to molecular motion.
