Question

How does surface tension and adhesion lead to this phenomenon?

Surface Tension. The cohesive forces between liquid molecules areresponsible for the phenomenonknown as surface tension. The molecules at the surface do not have other like molecules on all sides of them and consequently they cohere more strongly to those directly associated with them on the surface.
