Question

10. Which would make the best aquifer?

Answer 1

c. sandstone in the zone of saturation

Explanation:

The best aquifer of all is a sandstone in the zone of saturation. An aquifer is a porous and permeable formation where groundwater can accumulate.

• To be a good aquifer, a rock or soil must be porous and permeable.
• Porosity is the amount of void spaces present in a rock.
• Permeability is the inter-connectivity of the pore spaces.

The zone of saturation is the zone below the water table where water is always present underground.

• Sandstones have high porosity and permeability.
• They are good aquifers when found at the zone of saturation.
