10. Contaminated surface water can eventually enter groundwater and contaminate it. 11. Depending on the type of soil or rock, groundwater will flow at different rates. 12. Rain and snowmelt infiltrate (seep) into the ground to become groundwater. 1. False.
Surface tension makes these water drops round so they cover the smallest possible surface area. Capillary action is also a result of surface tension. As we mentioned, this happens in plants when they suck up water. The water adheres to the inside of the plant's tubes, but the surface tension attempts to flatten it out. This makes the water rise and cohere to itself again, a process that continues until enough water builds up to make gravity begin pulling it back down.
