Small insects can walk across the surface of calm water. Their feet push the surface of the water down slightly, somewhat like a person walking across a trampoline, but they do not break the surface. What is the best explanation for the reason why this happens?

Answer:
surface tension.
Explanation:
water has a tremendous amount of surface tension due to which for small mass distributed effectively on its surface ,it behaves just like a pliable membrane instead of a liquid.
henceforth,we are to see some insects literally walking on the water without even being wet.
