With a mean annual discharge of 6,000 acre - feet/year at the springs, what would be the average transmissivity of the aquifer i
QveST [7]

Answer:

transmissivity =0.0001458235 m² / year

Explanation:

given data

discharge = 6,000 acre - feet/year = 0.001775566 cubic miles

width of aquifer = 1.8 miles

Gradient = 0.95%

to find out

what would be the average transmissivity of the aquifer

solution

we know that transmissivity formula that is

transmissivity = \frac{Q}{W*i}

here Q is discharge and W is width and i is gradient

so put here value

transmissivity = \frac{Q}{W*i}

transmissivity = \frac{0.001775566}{1.8*0.45}

transmissivity =0.0010383427 mile² / year

and we know 1 miles² = 2589988.11 m²

so

transmissivity =0.0001458235 m² / year

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

"Dr. Randall Irmis is a famous paleontologist, who has gone on to make important discoveries since he showed the Penn State CAUSE class this fossil plate from the armored vertebrate Buettneria."

Explanation:

<u>Based on the discussions in the textbook and lecture on the topic of evolution, it is likely that: </u>

  • All species alive today are completely unrelated to Buettneria.
  • Some species alive today are essentially identical to Buettneria.
  • The most similar species alive today are related to but recognizably different from Buettneria.
