The correct answer is - rainfall.

The Ogallala Aquifer is a very large aquifer. It traces its origins at the end of the last ice age, where the water from the melting glaciers filled it up. After that initial filling of from the water of melting glaciers, the Ogallala Aquifer has been reliant on the water from the rainfall to fill it, and replenish the lost water.

Since the humans started to use it though, this aquifer has been constantly experiencing decrease in its water levels. The reason for that is that the humans use more water from the aquifer than what the rainfall can replenish, and that is especially a big problem because the aquifer is located in an area where there isn't a lot of precipitation.

Define the atmosphere and explain the importance thereof
sp2606 [1]

An atmosphere is the layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body. ... These gases are found in layers (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere) defined by unique features such as temperature and pressure.

The Earth's atmosphere protects and sustains the planet's inhabitants by providing warmth and absorbing harmful solar rays. In addition to containing the oxygen and carbon dioxide, which living things need to survive, the atmosphere traps the sun's energy and wards off many of the dangers of space.

Earth's atmosphere is a thin blanket of gases and tiny particles: together called air. We are most aware of air when it moves and creates wind.
