Each layer of rock in the image is a rock formation. How long do you think it took for each layer to form?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: First off, that is a beautiful rock!

Also, is there any other information given? Like about rock layer formation, or about this rock specifically or anything?

If there is no other information, then I'd say it took thousands for years for the layers to form, but it depends on the type of rock in the layer.

For example, Igneous rock takes only a few days to form, because all it is is cooled lava, whereas granite takes a few million years to form.

This looks like it might be sandstone or something.

Sandstone takes about 10-100 years to form, so if this is sandstone, then each layer probably look about 100 years to form, and the whole rock with all the layers might have taken thousands of years, but I need more info to be sure.

Explain how ground water gets recharged focusing on the following key terms: Water table, Infiltration and Aquifer.
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Natural groundwater recharge occurs as precipitation falls on the land surface, infiltrates into soils, and moves through pores spaces down to the water table. Natural recharge also can occur as surface water leakage from rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands or For example groundwater can be artificially recharged by redirecting water across the land surface through canals, infiltration basins, or ponds; adding irrigation furrows or sprinklers systems; or simply injecting water directly into the subsurface through injection wells.
