Question

An aquifer has been compared to a sponge. Think about this analogy for a moment explain why the use of the word quotations “sponge“ is more appropriate in the use of “underground river” quotes to describe aquifers.

Answer 1

The word sponge is more appropriate to use than Underground river since an underground river can loose water while an aquifer cannot loose water, unless it is open-air and above ground. then the aquifer would slowly loose water due to evaporation from the sun.
