Abstract. The Marangoni Effect is a phenomenon whereby movement of a liquid occurs due to local difference in the surface tension of the liquid. Although commonly occuring in nature on the ground, very careful observation is required to reveal this phenomenon due to the overtwhelming effects of gravity.
