Answer:
An aquifer is a layer of porous substrate that contains and transmits groundwater. ... The upper level of this saturated layer of an unconfined aquifer is called the water table or phreatic surface. Below the water table, where in general all pore spaces are saturated with water, is the phreatic zone.
Answer:
igneous rocks are made from molten,and therefore rarely have fossils in them.Metamorphic rocks are squished,put under pressure,and get heated to the extreme,so it's very rare for fossils to survive in these conditions.
To rank the effective nuclear charge Z* experienced by a valence electrons of a set of atoms that belong to a same period, you only need to apply the rule of trend: it increases as you move from left to right in the period.
So, lets do it for these atoms: P, Al, Si, Cl
The belong to a same period and the order is Al, Si, P, Cl (just see a periodic table). So the rank is Al < Si < P < Cl
Now, lets do it for these atoms:, Be, Ne, O, C
They belong to the second period. The order is Be, C, O, Ne
So, the rank is Be < C < O < Ne.
