What is the relationship between groundwater and aquifers?

Geography

lidiya [134]3 years ago

The groundwater and the aquifers essentially fall into the same category, as both of them are part of the underground freshwater reserves (though in some cases they can be saline as well). The groundwater tends to be mixed with ground very often. It also has the tendency to move inside the ground, making holes into the rocks or the ground and trying to find its way out on the surface. The aquifers, on the other hand, are much more static. They are larger bodies of water that are located inside the ground. In a way, they are like underground lakes, or rather reservoirs of water. The connection between these two, apart from being underground water bodies, is that the groundwater is often supplying the aquifers with water, thus recharging the water that they have lost though human usage or evaporation.

Which South American country is the largest consumer of plant-based biofuels in the world?
Brrunno [24]

The correct answer is - C. Brazil.

Brazil has a large and ever-growing economy. This means that it needs more and more resources in order for the economy to go forward and develop. As a country that has the biggest amount of available biomass in the world, Brazil has been trying to fix this problem with the production of bio-fuels, and in fact, it is the second biggest producer in the world of bio-fuels. But only that it a big producer, Brazil is actually using this bio-fuel, and it is a trend that is becoming bigger and bigger. So Brazil is using its own bio-fuel, but also imports a lot of it, thus being the largest consumer/user of bio-fuel in the world.
