Which mechanism enables strong capillary action of water?

💡 Explanation

Capillary action in water relies on cohesion and adhesion; cohesive forces arise from hydrogen bond network formation between water molecules. Because strong cohesive forces resist separation, therefore water climbs up narrow spaces, rather than exhibiting weak flow from Van Der Waals forces.
