Question

The lake at point A in the diagram is one of the primary points of recharge for the aquifer. Assuming the maximum rate of recharge is occurring in the aquifer, identify the particle type that would most likely make up the majority of the soil.

Answer 1

Answer:

The soil of the region A (given in the attachment) must have coarse grain sand and gravel deposits.

Explanation:

The remaining part of the question is attached here

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.
