[HPFGU-OTChatter] How does a spring work? (the water kind)

Sun Sep 9 05:18:02 UTC 2001

Hi Amy,
I've been regretting many times that my English is not
better, but when it comes to technical questions, it
hopelessly fails me. Well, let's try anyway:
There is the physical law of (I hope that, if you read
it, you'll recognize what I mean, as it's a technical
term I don't know- see above)"communicating
containers". Imagine two  vertical glass tubes,
connected with each other to form a "U":If you pour
water into one side of the U, it will rise on the
other side, until the level is equal on both sides. 
And that's it.
Hope it helped

been a teacher)

Hey, it says OT up there.<BR>
<BR>
Any geology/physics types on here? I am trying
to understand a <BR>
geological phenomenon, preferably before 11 p.m.
Eastern Time, and I <BR>
don't know where to even begin to find out on the
internet. If you <BR>
have the slightest understanding of what makes water
travel upwards in <BR>
a spring, or know where to point me to find out, could
you respond <BR>
offlist? aiz24 AT hotmail.com.<BR>
<BR>
Many thanks,<BR>
Amy<BR>
