Answer:

The geological nature of the soil determines the groundwater's chemical composition. Water is continuously in touch with the soil in which it stagnates or circulates and so the composition of the soil develops in a balance with the water which circulates within a sandy or granite substratum which is acidic and has a few minerals.

Explanation:

The low turbidity, constant temperature, and chemical composition, and nearly overall absence of oxygen are some of the most characteristic features of groundwater. Groundwater circulation with the appearance of pollutants and various pollutants may have extreme variations in the composition. In addition, microbiologically, floodwaters are often very pure.

Movement:-

Groundwater is in continuous movements, although the rates of movement are generally slower than in a stream because it needs to cross the complex passages between rocks' free spaces. Due to the pulling of weight, the first groundwater is descending. But it can also go up, as it flows from higher pressures to lower pressures.

Discharges and velocity:-

Depending on the rock permeability and the hydraulic gradient, the rates at which groundwater moves through the saturated area. The hydraulic gradient is the height difference divided by the distance from the water table between two points.

Springs and wells:-

Spring is an area on the earth's surface, where the water table crosses the surface and water flows from the earth. Springs occur when a waterproof rock (known as an aquiclude) crosses a permeable rock containing groundwater (an aquifer). Springs occur closely linked to the geology of an area.

A well is a human-made hole that has been excavated or boiled deep enough to cross the water table. The water fills the open space to the water table level and can be pulled out by the bucket or pumping if it was dug under the water table.

Some of the most typical characteristics of groundwater are weak turbidity, a constant temperature and chemical composition and almost overall absence of oxygen. Circulating groundwater can have extreme variation in the composition with the appearance of pollutants and various contaminants.

How can new technologies in geography help us to answer geography’s three key questions?
svp [43]

Geography's relevance to science and society arises from a distinctive and integrating set of perspectives through which geographers view the world around them. This chapter conveys a sense of what is meant by a geographic perspective, whether it be applied in research, teaching, or practice. Due to space limitations, it does not attempt to cite the many excellent examples of research illustrating geography's perspectives; the citations refer mainly to broad-ranging summaries of geographic research that are intended as resources for further reading.

Taking time to understand geography's perspectives is important because geography can be difficult to place within the family of academic disciplines. Just as all phenomena exist in time and thus have a history, they also exist in space and have a geography. Geography and history are therefore central to understanding our world and have been identified as core subjects in American education. Clearly, this kind of focus tends to cut across the boundaries of other natural and social science disciplines. Consequently, geography is sometimes viewed by those unfamiliar with the discipline as a collection of disparate specialties with no central core or coherence.

Briefly describe what has happened (or is happening) to each of the following modes of public transportation in U.S. cities?
algol13
The trolleys have been reduced over the last decades, after their initial increase as a public transportation, when new and better ways were discovered/produced for transport, their decline has started.
The buses since their invention, had grown in number and became a very important part of every city's public transportation, and still are.
The rapid transit is the most recent one of the mentioned in here. It's popularity has grown, number increased, and is very practical because it is not causing traffic mess. It is very important transport asset nowadays and makes lives of millions of people much easier.
