The groundwater is being discharged faster than it is being recharged is the data suggested.

Option D

<h3><u>Ex planation:</u></h3>

Ground water level is the level of underground storage of water above the impermeable rock layer. The underground water is getting filtered through different layers of permeable rocks before it enters the final layer. So it’s fresh and ready to be consumed as it is taken out. Thus for centuries, it’s being used as the source of drinking water.

But with increasing population, the ground water is being consumed at the rate very faster than it can be refilled from different sources like precipitation, rivers and other water bodies. So its level tends to get lower and lower as this continues until the point it gets finished.

Think about a carbon atom that is released into the atmosphere from burning wood in a campfire. If it were to go through the who
Anna35 [415]

The correct order would be:

1. A tree absorbs the carbon from the atmosphere into its leaves for photosynthesis;

2. A caterpillar gets the carbon by eating the tree's leaves.

3. A bird gets the carbon by eating the caterpillar.

4. The bird flies into a building and dies instantly. It falls to the ground.

5. The bird decomposes and the carbon returns to the atmosphere.

The carbon cycle is very similar to the water cycle, though it has its own unique ways. Once the carbon is released into the atmosphere, it will either be absorbed by the vegetation, or go up into the higher parts of the atmosphere. If it is absorbed by the vegetation, the organisms that eat the vegetation will get it in them. When the predators eat those organism they get the carbon into their organisms. When the predators die, they start to decompose. When they decompose, the carbon is released from them and it returns to the atmosphere, and the whole process goes all over again.
