How does passing through clay beds affect groundwater?

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.

Answer:

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.

What functions do plants,animals,and cells have in common
ivann1987 [24]

They are more similar then different. Animal and plant cells have some of the same cell components in common including a nucleus, Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria, peroxisomes, cytoskeleton, and cell (plasma) membrane. The main difference is that plant cells have a cell wall while animal cells only have a cell membrane. In addition, plant cells preform photosynthesis, while animal cells preform cellular respiration.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following was NOT a motivation for the creation of ASEAN?
irga5000 [103]
<span>ASEAN is an Association of Southeast Asian Nations - a multination association that has as its aim an economic cooperation between Southeast Asian countries (such as Thailand). This association did not arise as a response to external factors, so any reason connected to externam factors would not apply - such as the reliance on some external powers (such as the US). It is focused on the cooperation between the members only - not an external association.</span>
