The correct answer is 2. Runoff will decrease as infiltration increases

Explanation:

Runoff refers to the flow of water over the surface that occurs due to the soil being saturated or surfaces that do not allow infiltration such as pavement. On the other hand, infiltration occurs as water soaks into soil or it is absorbed by it.

This means in the case presented, once the water reaches an area of unsaturated soil, it is expected infiltration increases because this soil different from solid bedrock absorbs water. At the same time, runoff or water flowing without being absorbed will decrease as water will soak into the soil due to infiltration. Thus, in this case, the runoff will decrease as infiltration increases.

How to tell a Cancer cell from a Non-Cancer cell?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Cancer cells ignore these cells and invade nearby tissues. Benign (non-cancerous) tumors have a fibrous capsule. They may push up against nearby tissues but they do not invade/intermingle with other tissues. Cancer cells, in contrast, don't respect boundaries and invade tissues.

Cancer cells differ from normal cells in many ways that allow them to grow out of control and become invasive. One important difference is that cancer cells are less specialized than normal cells. That is, whereas normal cells mature into very distinct cell types with specific functions, cancer cells do not
