D. Most of the water is absorbed by soil and plants and doesn't reach the water table. However, the source of water in thento  water table is definitely from surface water but as it percolates into the ground, if it is a porous rocky or gravelly surface it should show up as perhaps a ssimilar amount of water, but if it goes through soil with more silt and clay and with tree roots, then some of it will get absorbed.

Explain the main reason why the position of the moon in the sky changes over the course of a single night. In other words why is
Afina-wow [57]

Explanation:  The moon changes its visual position relative to the earth during one night because the earth revolves around its axis. As the earth revolves around its axis it means that within a few hours an observer at a certain point on earth will, due to the earth's rotation, change the angle at which he sees the moon.

The fact that the moon also moves, that is, rotates around the earth, and that it takes about a month for a full rotation around the earth, is why we will see the moon in a different position in the sky at the same time next night.

If water is limited in an area, how do you think water should be allocated? Should it be used to support agriculture, or used in
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Building and business closures for weeks or months reduce water usage, potentially leading to stagnant

water inside building plumbing. This water can become unsafe to drink or otherwise use for domestic or

commercial purposes. For example, optimal growth conditions for undesirable pathogens, such as

Legionella bacteria, can occur when hot water temperatures decrease and disinfectant residuals (e.g.,

chlorine) drop to low levels. Water chemistry changes may also increase corrosion and leaching of

metals, including lead, and may cause the formation of disinfection by-products. Turning on the water

for immediate use after it has been stagnant can pose a risk to public health if not properly managed.

Additionally, turning on water after a prolonged period of non-use could disrupt pipe and plumbing

scales to such an extent that microbial and chemical contaminants could be released into the water.

Which answer accurately describes people's perceptions of the environment over the past century?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

During the 20th century, there was an increasing interest in the environment. The impact of human activity on the environment has been observed locally since centuries. Pollution of canals and chimneys in crowded urban areas etc were all causes of concern.

However, with a better understanding of our earth and increase in Medical knowledge of the 20th century, we could observe how our activities were having a global impact on the ozone layer and the melting ice caps.

Evidence was also provided on how human health was affected by this. The use of fossil fuels was not only directly damaging to the atmosphere, it was also dangerous for humans e.g. carbon monoxide produced by car emissions.
