Check all the examples of capillary action.

Select all correct options:

* water collecting on a penny and not spreading
* water climbing up a paper towel when the corner is placed in water
* paper clips floating on the top of water if placed carefully
* water being pulled up to the tops of trees

Answer (2)

Capillary action is the movement of liquid through narrow spaces due to cohesion and adhesion. Among the examples provided, the water climbing up a paper towel and the water being pulled up to the tops of trees are correct demonstrations of capillary action. The example of water on a penny does not illustrate this phenomenon. ;
