The correct answer is - Megalopolis.

The process of urbanization has been an ever-growing one, especially since the Industrial Revolution appeared on the scene. More and more people have been abandoning the life in the rural areas in order to move in, work, and live in the cities.

The cities grew quickly, and as they were constantly having new people coming in, they started to expand and urbanize the surrounding area. Little by little that led to the creating of whole chains of urbanized space that is connected, stretching for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. This type of interconnected urban areas are called megalopolises, and they are constantly growing, having more and more of the global population located in them.

Answer:

An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater under positive pressure. An artesian aquifer has trapped water, surrounded by layers of impermeable rock or clay which apply positive pressure to the water contained within the aquifer.

A force that makes a flow of water strong or weak high/low water pressure.

The soil or rock located below the top of the groundwater table. By definition, the zone of saturation is saturated with water. Also see water table. Where raw wastewater is exfiltrating from a sewer pipe, the area of soil that is moistened around the leak point is often called the zone of saturation.

Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%. Strictly speaking, some tests measure the "accessible void", the total amount of void space accessible from the surface.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

<u>Prime Meridian</u>

Explanation:

The Prime meridian is the line that divided the earth into two halves the west and the east as all map and projection still date have some sort of loss of data and are thus not accurately mapping the earth the presence of prime meridian in the most of the maps is in its accurate place.

Thus prime meridian represents the zone of the divide from where the maps are projected to be drawn keeping the polar and equatorial hemisphere in mind.

As most of the cylindrical, conical and azimuthal type projections have a direct bearing on the areas, distance, and direction but mostly are oriented with respect to the west and east divides that affect the time zones on earth.
