Answer:

The replenishment of groundwater takes place by precipitation, and on the basis of the geology and local climate, it is non-uniformly dispersed in both the quantity and quality. When the snow melts or rain falls, the evaporation of water takes place, some flows overland and gets gathered in streams, some get transpired by plants, while some infiltrate into the cracks or pores of the rocks and soil. After the requirements of water for the plants and soil gets fulfilled, the excess water gets infiltrate to the water table.

Similarly, the surface water, that is, the lakes, streams, rivers, and others get replenished via the process of precipitation. This can be in the form of hail, snow, rain, and others. The ice or snow melt also recharges surface water.

irinina [24]

Answer:

THE DISTANCE OF THE ROCK REFLECTING HER VOICE IS 82.5 METERS.

Explanation:

In sound waves, the speed of a sound is equal to twice the distance divided by time.

Mathematically,

Speed = 2 * Distance/ Time

Speed = 33- m/s

Time = 0.5 second

Distance = unknown

So re-arranging and introducing the variables into the formula, we have;

Distance = speed * time / 2

Distance = 330 * 0.5 / 2

Distance = 82.5 meters.

The distance away from the rock face which is reflecting her voice is 82.5 meters.

Svetach [21]

Answer: Carbonic acid occurs naturally in the body and performs important regulatory functions.

Explanation: Carbonic acid ( $H_2CO_3$ ) is an acid formed from the carbon dioxide present in the body. It is also known as the respiratory acid as it helps in the transport of carbon dioxide in the body.

With the help of enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase, carbon dioxide is converted into carbonic acid. This acid is an unstable intermediate which gets dissociated into bicarbonate ions ( $HCO_3^-$ ) and $H^+$ ions. immediatley.

Therefore, Carbonic acid performs important regulatory functions in the body.
