Question

Paheli noticed water being pulled up by a motor-pump to an overhead tank of a five-storeyed building. She wondered how water moves up to great heights in the tall trees standing next to the building. Can you tell why?

Answer

Water constantly evaporates from the leaves of the trees to form water vapour. This process is known as transpiration. This loss of water generates a “suction pull” which draws water up the tall trees.
