The intermolecular forces involved are such that interfacial water does not move under the influence of gravity. The temperature at which any portion of the interfacial water will change phase depends on the total energy of the various adsorption forces, which in turn depends on the distance from the mineral surface, the type of mineral, and the solute content of the water.
