GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cohesive forces are responsible for surface tension, a phenomenon that results in the tendency of a liquid’s surface to resist rupture when placed under tension or stress.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cohesion allows for the development of surface tension, the capacity of a substance to withstand being ruptured when placed under tension or stress. This is also why water forms droplets when placed on a dry surface rather than being flattened out by gravity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cohesion and surface tension are caused by the chemical makeup of the water molecule and its polarity.
