24) Most of the precipitation that falls onto Earth's surface ________. A) is already unusable because of acid rain B) evaporate
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:C) either runs off to form rivers or filters down into underground aquifers

Explanation:Precipitation is any form of moisture which falls to the earth. This includes rain, snow, hail and sleet. Precipitation occurs when water vapour cools. When the air reaches saturation point (also known as condensation point and dew point) the water vapour condenses and forms tiny droplets of water.

In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity from clouds. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel and hail. ... Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called "showers."

A confined aquifer has a specific storage of 2.4 x 10-S ft and a thickness of 300 ft. How much water (in acre-ft) would it yield
Georgia [21]

Answer:

water it yield is 244290.45 ft

Explanation:

given data

specific storage SS = 2.4 × 10^{-5} ft

thickness b = 300 ft

water declined ΔH  = 4.8 ft

radius r = 1,500 ft

to find out

How much water  would it yield

solution

we know that

volume of water is

Vw = S × Area ×  ΔH    ..............1

here S = specific storage × thickness

S = 2.4 × 10^{-5} × 300

S = 7.2 ×  10^{-3}

and

area = πr² = π 1,500² = 7068589.471 ft²

so

volume of water is

Vw = 7.2 ×  10^{-3}  × 7068589.471 ×  4.8

Vw = 244290.45

so water it yield is 244290.45 ft
