Answer:

Osmosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

This direction is from high concentration to low concentration, this will create equilibrium.
