When the water table is very near the surface, groundwater can bubble up out of cracks in the rock. This is called a

Answer:Surface water seeps into the ground and recharges the underlying aquifer—groundwater discharges to the surface and supplies the stream with baseflow.

Explanation:

What are some effects of groundwater depletion? Pumping has removed water from storage in basalt aquifers and caused declines in many areas of the Columbia Plateau. The most severe consequence of excessive groundwater pumping is that the water table, below which the ground is saturated with water, can be lowered.

The ratio of distance on a map to actual ground distance is known as:

Orlov [11]

Answer: The map scale

Explanation: A Map Scale is defined as the ratio of the distance on a map to the distance on the surface the map represents. For example, 1 centimetres on a map represents 10 kilometres on the surface of the Earth. What this means is that for every 1 centimetre you measure on the map, that equates to 10 kilometres on Earth/ real life.

Explain how three different features of sedimentary rocks can be used to determine how, where, or when the rocks formed

alexdok [17]

The texture of sedimentary rocks, like the size of grains or chemical precipitates can show how the rock was formed. The fossils of sedimentary rocks can show when the rock was formed. The stratification and sorting of the particles can show were the rock was formed.

Based on the map, in which direction would you expect each of the following rivers to flow the Missouri River, the Colorado Rive

agasfer [191]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

A great way to see the direction a river runs is to see the two endpoints of that river. Whichever one is higher will most likely determine the direction the river flows just due to gravity. If a river starts in a mountain and ends in a lake that is north of the mountain, you can expect that the river flows north and not south just due to gravity.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MISSOURI RIVER

We see that the West end this river is in the Rocky Mountain area and the other end is in the plains/plateau area. The Rocky Mountains are much higher than plains, so that means that that is where the river starts, and it will be flowing away from that. We see that the direction it goes is generally East.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COLORADO RIVER

The West End of this river is in the plateaus and highlands while the other is in the Rocky Mountains. The Rocky Mountains, the high point, at the East end of the river, so it is going to be flowing West due to gravity.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RIO GRANDE

This river also starts in the Rocky Mountains and appears to flow down into the highlands and plains. Since the Rocky Mountains are at the North part of this river, it is going to be flowing South.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
