Answer:

An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater under positive pressure. An artesian aquifer has trapped water, surrounded by layers of impermeable rock or clay which apply positive pressure to the water contained within the aquifer.

A force that makes a flow of water strong or weak high/low water pressure.

The soil or rock located below the top of the groundwater table. By definition, the zone of saturation is saturated with water. Also see water table. Where raw wastewater is exfiltrating from a sewer pipe, the area of soil that is moistened around the leak point is often called the zone of saturation.

Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%. Strictly speaking, some tests measure the "accessible void", the total amount of void space accessible from the surface.

Describe the formation, characteristics, and minerals present of the following rocks:
SOVA2 [1]

Explanation:

Serpentine

  • Formation: it forms through serpentinization, a geological low-temperature metamorphic process where low-silica mafic and ultramafic rocks are oxidized and hydrolyzed with water into serpentinite.
  • Characteristics: rich in magnesium and water, light to dark green, greasy-looking and slippery feeling. It can resist the transfer of heat. A source of asbestos, architectural stone, ornamental stone, gem material
  • Minerals present: it follows the formula (X)2-3(Y)2O5(OH)4 where X  can be magnesium, iron, nickel, aluminum, zinc, or manganese; and, Y will be silicon, aluminum, or iron.

Green Schist

  • Formation: they form by regional metamorphism of mafic igneous rocks through depth of burial, and proximity to batholiths.
  • Characteristics: The green is due to abundant green chlorite
  • Minerals present: actinolite and epidote mainly, but they can also include quartz, orthoclase, talc, carbonate minerals, and amphibole.

Basalt Pillow

  • Formation: it forms when lava of basaltic compositions erupted underwater. The rapid cooling of the lava forms the pillow-shaped bodies.
  • Characteristics: they are volcanic igneous rocks, very dark, almost black color.
  • Minerals present: Basalt has a lower percentage of silica and a higher percentage of iron and magnesium than other volcanic rocks.

Umber

  • Formation: it develops in Cyprus massive sulfide deposits.
  • Characteristics: is not one precise color, but a range of different colors, from medium to dark, from yellowish to reddish to grayish depending on the iron oxide and manganese in the clay
  • Minerals present: contains iron oxide and manganese oxide and sulfide precipitates like pyrite.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
