6 0

<span>Diamond is an evolutionary biologist, interested in adaptations, and he proceeds to speculate that New Guineans exhibit these heightened-mental-activity traits in response to their environment, which presents them with constant and varied challenges. He gets away with it because (1) this statement is buried inside his main thesis, which is in accord with the fundamental dogma (Western superiority is just an accident of geography), and (2) his superior racial group is non-white, and it's okay to call whites inferior</span>

Solution

Most of the aquifers are recharged by rainfall or either the surface water that penetrates through the soil into the ground and reaches the aquifer. Hence, the soil type in these regions must be permeable. Gravel and coarse sand along with medium seize sand particles have high permeability. Hence, the soil of the region A (given in the attachment) must have coarse grain sand and gravel deposits.
