Answer:

The correct answer is A. Unlike surface water, groundwater is also responding to pressure in addition to gravity.

Explanation:

A groundwater aquifer is a saturated underground earth formation that may consist of permeable or unstructured rocks (gravel, sand or lime). The water is stored and circulated through these materials. This water can be extracted using wells, mines and other catchment systems.

When the permeable rock where water accumulates is located between two impermeable layers, it is called a confined aquifer. In this case, the water is under a higher pressure than the atmospheric one.

Amanda [17]

A is not correct as it was a strategy created by President Abraham Lincoln .

The same goes for C and D as he didn't have role there.

Describe the formation, characteristics, and minerals present of the following rocks:
SOVA2 [1]

Explanation:

Serpentine

  • Formation: it forms through serpentinization, a geological low-temperature metamorphic process where low-silica mafic and ultramafic rocks are oxidized and hydrolyzed with water into serpentinite.
  • Characteristics: rich in magnesium and water, light to dark green, greasy-looking and slippery feeling. It can resist the transfer of heat. A source of asbestos, architectural stone, ornamental stone, gem material
  • Minerals present: it follows the formula (X)2-3(Y)2O5(OH)4 where X  can be magnesium, iron, nickel, aluminum, zinc, or manganese; and, Y will be silicon, aluminum, or iron.

Green Schist

  • Formation: they form by regional metamorphism of mafic igneous rocks through depth of burial, and proximity to batholiths.
  • Characteristics: The green is due to abundant green chlorite
  • Minerals present: actinolite and epidote mainly, but they can also include quartz, orthoclase, talc, carbonate minerals, and amphibole.

Basalt Pillow

  • Formation: it forms when lava of basaltic compositions erupted underwater. The rapid cooling of the lava forms the pillow-shaped bodies.
  • Characteristics: they are volcanic igneous rocks, very dark, almost black color.
  • Minerals present: Basalt has a lower percentage of silica and a higher percentage of iron and magnesium than other volcanic rocks.

Umber

  • Formation: it develops in Cyprus massive sulfide deposits.
  • Characteristics: is not one precise color, but a range of different colors, from medium to dark, from yellowish to reddish to grayish depending on the iron oxide and manganese in the clay
  • Minerals present: contains iron oxide and manganese oxide and sulfide precipitates like pyrite.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
