Question 6 options: a) A b) B c) C d) D Question 7 (2 points) Listen Why did the water pool under the letter D? Question 7 options: a) Because it was the deepest point.b) Because the other areas were confined. c) Because there was no place else for it to go with bedrock beneath it. d) Because the water under B "spills" over to the area under D.

Question 13 options: a) True b) False Question 14 (2 points) Saved ListenBased on the steps of the hydrologic cycle, which one is the most important for groundwater? Question 14 options: a) Condensation b) Runoff c) Infiltration d) Transpiration Question 15 (2 points) Saved Listen In the picture below, we see groundwater beneath a rural farm (B) and an urban city (A). Which area would have more infiltration to recharge the groundwater? Question 15 options: a) The ground under the city because it has a larger area. b) The ground under the farm because there are no structures to hinder it. c) The ground under the city because it has different rock layers beneath it. d) The ground under the farm because it is smaller and takes less time to fill.
