Wetting and drying in geology refer to the process by which sediments become saturated with water (wetting) and then dry out due to evaporation or drainage (drying). This cycle can affect the stability of slopes, the behavior of soils, and the movement of water underground. Wetting and drying can also influence the distribution of minerals and the formation of certain geological features such as mud cracks.
Wetting and drying is considered a part of mechanical weathering. This process occurs when rocks expand when wet and contract when dry, leading to the breakdown of rock material.
Hydration weathering occurs when rock absorbs water, causing it to expand and break apart. This process is common in areas with frequent cycles of wetting and drying.
Freezing and thawing cycles cause expansion and contraction of soil particles, weakening their cohesion and allowing for soil creep. Wetting and drying cycles lead to swelling and shrinking of soil particles, further destabilizing the soil mass and contributing to soil creep. Over time, these repeated processes can gradually move soil downslope through a slow, continuous mass movement process.
Geology is a noun.
The verb form of geology is "geologize."
Wetting: humidification of conditioned air, humidification of clothes during a rain, etc. Drying: deleting water from humid sand, deleting water from humid dishes, etc.

Wetting is the process by which a liquid spreads across the surface of a solid, while drying is the process by which a liquid evaporates from the surface of a solid. These phenomena are important in various scientific fields, such as materials science and environmental science, as they can affect the properties of materials and the behavior of substances in different environments.

If you squeegee the water off really well, nothing happens. Photo-flo is a wetting agent; it causes the wash water to flow off the film evenly. If the wetting agent is not used and the squeegeeing has not been adequate, you'll get really strange drying marks on the film that won't come out.
You can't get BV from wetting the bed.

No, water is not at all a wetting agent as far as paints are concerned.
Wetting agent is basically a detergent. It breaks the surface tension of water, and is usually the last treatment a film receives before being hung to dry. The wetting agent causes the final rinse to "sheet" off the film, allowing it to dry without water spots. Water spots can cause all sorts of grief, and usually once the film has dried the water spots cannot be removed, even by rewashing, so it's best to prevent them. A film squeegee may be used to speed drying with or without wetting agent, but many workers do not like to touch wet film with anything other than wet fingers.
