This is from the botanical trivia :
During normal cycles of humidity, spores of horsetails (Equisetum) „walk“ tiny steps. 
Each step might move the spore only a few dozen micrometres (thousandths of millimetres)
... and the spore might take only one step a day, so it is very slow.
More dramatically, when fully hydrated, spores are exposed to sudden drying, they leap from the ground,
reaching the height of as much as a centimetre.
That may not sound much, but it is a giant leap for a spore that’s just 50 micrometres across.
Why is that so?

Sorry Fox_nc,

"weight" is not the right answer.

If you are asking why they leap, it is an attempt to be moved a distance by any breeze so as to repopulate new ground and spread the species.

If you are asking why they are able to leap that high I don't have a clue other than they may be expending all their energy in a last ditch effort.

You are right, CharlieB53:

Walking helps spores to free themselves from their spore capsule and move small distances over the ground...

But jumping offers a very efficient means of dispersal.

A centimetre is enough to take spores out of the still air at ground level into moving air that can transport them to a suitable damp spot.

You are up, CharlieB53.

Sorry for my tardiness.  I don't usually play games.  I just received an email that I was 'Up'.

OK, try this.

If you have one cup of distilled water, and another cup of pure alcohol,  (99% is about as close as youo can get).

And you pour both cups at the same time into a two cup container.

How much volume will you have in the container?

Why?

Sorry, no.

and you skipped the 'Why' part, but it wouldn't have saved you.

Hint:  Remember, I once had a pocket protector, so I can be a bit of a 'geek'.  An intro to chemistry or physics may help someone remember the answer.
