Surface
tension - The natural tendency of the surface of water (and
other liquids) to behave like an elastic sheet. It is caused
by forces acting between the water molecules: the molecules
at the surface are much more strongly attracted to each other,
and to the molecules below them, than they are to the molecules
of air above them
