An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted using a water well. The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology. Related terms include aquitard, which is a bed of low permeability along an aquifer,[1] and aquiclude (or aquifuge), which is a solid, impermeable area underlying or overlying an aquifer. If the impermeable area overlies the aquifer, pressure could cause it to become a confined aquifer.

When a metamorphic rock exhibits a layered or banded appearance, it is said to exhibit a(n) __________ texture.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a metamorphic rock exhibits a layered or banded appearance, it is said to exhibit a foliated texture.

In geology, foliation texture is a texture that has layerings in a repititive manner, usually in metamorphic rocks. Each layer vary in thickness. It can be as thin as 0.05cm or more than a meter in thickness.

why might the agriculture revolution have contributed to the start of the industrial revolution in great Britain?

N76 [4]

The agricultural revolution in Britain was very important, if not the most important factor that led to the industrial revolution.

The reason for this is that with the agricultural revolution, the production on the farmlands increased significantly, and that trend was constantly going upwards. That led to a situation where there was much more production than what the country needed, so it had to be traded. But the trade of the crops was still limited, thus something new was needed, something that will enable the manufacturing of the goods, so that they can be preserved better and last longer, so that they can be traded further away. That economic pressure, led to multiple inventions, which resulted in the development of the industry, thus having the start of the industrial revolution.

How is a subspecies different from a species?

grandymaker [24]

<h2>short definition:</h2>

 a species is a population or groups of populations that can potentially interbreed freely within and among themselves.

Subspecies, are subgroups within a species that have different traits

<h2>long definition</h2>

A species is a group of organisms that (in the case of sexually reproducing organisms) can freely interbreed, producing fertile offspring. This definition has its problems, but overall, it encompasses the meaning of the word “species” in biology.

A subspecies is, as the name implies, a smaller population within a species that share a particular common trait. Usually a sub species is at least partially genetically isolated from it’s parent species, so that interbreeding is less likely to occur. Most often a sub species is physically separated from the rest of the species, and may have some specific physical differences from the rest of the species. However, they are still able to interbreed with members of the parent population.
