Porous, water-saturated layers of underground bedrock, sand, and gravel that can yield economically significant amounts of water are referred to as aquifers

Aquifers are subterranean formations of bedrock, sand, and gravel saturated with water that can economically produce significant amounts of water.

<h3>What is Real Bedrock?</h3>

Bedrock is solid rock that lies beneath surface soil or gravel. Sand and other layers on the seabed are also supported by bedrock. Consolidated rock, or bedrock, is solid and strongly bonded rock. Loose-grained unconsolidated rock is often found as subsoil.

<h3>Is bedrock really rock?</h3>

The bedrock that balances the earth's crust is solid rock. While the entire state is covered by bedrock, Maine is mostly covered by a layer of surface sediment, soil, and vegetation.

1. _______when wind allows cold dense water to rise from the bottom of the ocean to the surface.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

  • upwelling
  • obliquity
  • thermohaline circulation
  • Milankovitch cycles
  • eccentricity
  • precession

Explanation:

  • Upwelling is a process of the winds that drives away the warm water from the surface and bring up the cold and dense water from below.
  • Obliquity is the nature of the axial tilt of the earth i.e 23.5 ° Due to the equator bulge and other properties of the earth.
  • The thermohaline circulation is the global circulation of the waster that is created by the gradient flow of the surface heat and the freshwater influxes.
  • Milankovitch cycles are the effect of the changes in the earth's movements in climatic patterns over a thousands of years period.
  • Eccentricity is the orbital rotation of the earth around the sun on its axis and has more of a circular elliptical path.
  • The precession is the change in the orientation of the axial tilt of the planet in reference to the rotating body.

Pieces and full petrified logs in a barren area with mountains in the background.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The area was once a forest.

The area was uplifted.

The area was buried in sediment.

The area was probably covered by water.

Petrification of a dead plant or animal organisms occurs when rock mineral displaces the organic elements in the structure of the biotic matter or these minerals seep in between the spaces and pores within the dead plant or organism and become part of the material.

Explanation:

Petrification occurs under high pressure. This is why this process occurs in the crust after layers of sediments create enough pressure on the dead organic matter buried in with the sediments. This phenomenon commonly begins on the ocean floor where dead marine life sinks to the bottom and is buried by sediments over many years.  

Occasionally, tectonic plate forces uplift these petrified fossils from deep in the crust exposing them on the surface like in this case.
