Passing through clay beds affect groundwater because it will take time for it to pass and penetrate through clay. Water cannot pass deeper to get across, the direction is horizontal to the most penetrable part of the soil where it can pass.
Clay beds have great impact on the ground water flow. The clay particles are fine grained and they have a relatively high surface area, in comparison to the sand particles. As a result of which they have the ability to hold water in them. This property is known as the porosity. But clay beds have low permeability as a result of which the water is not allowed to pass through the medium.
Porosity is defined as the amount of pore spaces present in a material. This porosity and the grain size of the particles are inversely proportional to each other. This means that a finer particles has high porosity.
Permeability is defined as the property of a material that allows the water to pass through them and mixes with the groundwater.
Due to the high porosity and low permeability of clay beds, it traps the water in its void spaces and transmits at a very slower rate, thereby affecting the groundwater flow.
Using things such as the internet. For example, if a scientist wanted feedback, he could turn to an org of other scientists across the globe and get their help.
When an organism is heterozygous for a particular trait, it means the organism has two different allele for that particular trait. An allele is the alternate for of a gene. For example, using Mendel's pea plants, he studied the height trait having the tall and the short allele for this height trait. Thus, this cn be written as (Tt) where T represent the tall allel and t represent the short allele.
