Trees overcome the 33-foot suction limit through the cohesion-tension theory, where evaporation at leaves creates negative pressure that pulls a continuous chain of water molecules from roots to crown, enabling tall trees like redwoods to transport water hundreds of feet upward.

Trees Break Physics: The Solar Pump Moving Water π²Added:
A solar pump hidden in trees. You see tall trees every day.
They move water up hundreds of feet.
Physics says, "Suction stops at 33 [music] feet."
So, how do redwoods beat that limit?
Leaves evaporate water and create a steady pull.
It's the cohesion-tension theory.
Evaporation creates negative pressure, pulling a continuous chain of water molecules from roots to crown.
And the real reason is
