in the early cambrian, there was little tectonic activity in virginia and sediments were deposited along the continental margin. the deposition of sand, silt, and other clastic materials was gradually replaced by the deposition of limy sediments in the warm tropical waters of the iapetus ocean. if we were to look at the layers of rock dating back to this time period, we would expect to   a)limestone layered over sandstone and shale. b)sandstone and shale layered over limestone. c)limestone intruding into sandstone and shale layers. d)three layers from top down, sandstone, shale, limestone.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
