Hi! Some rocks are porous material, like a sponge, with lots of air pockets inside, so they can absorbe water. In this case, the water level dropped 5.65m because tha volume of water went inside the rock filling the air pockets. The water replaced the air, that flowed to the outside water as bubbles and then to the air above the water.

What kind of energy does a rubber band have when it is stretched?
RideAnS [48]
Elastic potential energy. When you stretch a rubber band it has the "potential" to do work, to fly in a given direction. In doing so it changes it's elastic potential energy to kinetic energy.

What is the difference between current and voltage besides their units of measurement
kondor19780726 [428]
"Voltage" is the "pressure" that makes electrons want to leave where they are
and head in some direction, if there's conducting material in that direction.

"Current" is the rate at which they all migrate in that direction.
