The following image is a prediction of how an earthquake would spread from the epicenter (marked by a star). Red indicates the worst areas, and green indicates the places where there is the least shaking. Water is colored blue. Consider a seismic wave—an earthquake—that starts in the middle of the red area and travels outward along the surface of the earth. Point A is the same distance from the epicenter as point B. Using what you know about the movement of waves, how would you expect the seismic waves to be different at point A and point B?

A.
The ground would shake up and down at point A but back and forth at point B.

B.
The waves would be larger at point A than at point B.

C.
The waves would be exactly the same at points A and B.

D.
The waves would arrive at point B before they arrived at point A.

water   molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.
