A subsurface rock layer that is composed of clay and bedrock and is an impermeable barrier to water flow would be described as a(n) <u>aquifer(option b)</u>.
An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt).
The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology. Aquifers occur from near-surface to deeper than 9,000 metres (30,000 ft).
There are three different types of aquifers: confined, unconfined, and perched. Recharge zones are typically at higher altitudes but can occur wherever water enters an aquifer, such as from rain, snowmelt, river and reservoir leakage, or from irrigation.

Alfred Russel Wallace, a biologist, naturalist and anthropologist who studied life in the tropics of Indonesia came up with the same idea of natural selection as Charles Darwin and prompted Darwin to publish his Origin of Specie sooner rather than later. He also studied the geographic distribution of species and as as well he was a social activist who criticized capitalism and warned of damage to the environment from man's economic activities.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Hydroxide ions make solutions more basic by decreasing its acidity (this is accomplished by reacting with H+)
The correct answer is D.
Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose molecules are broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy in form of ATP, water and carbon dioxide are also given off as the by products of the reaction. Thus, for cellular respiration to occur, the raw materials that are needed are glucose and oxygen while the products of the reaction that are formed are energy, water and carbon dioxide. Living organisms used the energy produced to carry out life sustaining activities of the cells.
