| The liquid flows upward by capillary action, then is vaporized by the heat. |
| Over time, the saved water percolated upward through capillary action toward plants' thirsty roots. |
| The capillary action of the water serves to retain the sand particles, and water seeps may form. |
| The ink on the reservoir is driven through the microchannel via capillary action to reach the dispensing tip. |
| Fluffies pilchers use capillary action to draw moisture away from the skin assisting in preventing nappy rash. |
| Thus, seeds can imbibe water by capillary action so that they swell and break their coats, allowing germination of new life. |
