Question

(NR) Natural Resources:Question 10

Answer 1

Answer: D) Groundwater collects only where the soil and geological features allow water to seep down into underground chambers.

In other words, as long as there are gaps to allow water through, then that would lead to underground aquifers. Another important component is the amount of rain water that happens. Sources such as rivers, lakes and streams are also a contributing factor.

Stuff like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and continental movement doesn't really have much an effect on where or how aquifers form. It's really all about the soil type and how the landscape is formed, and of course the other factors mentioned in the previous paragraph.
