How do geoscience processes affect the availability of groundwater in California​

Biology
1 answer:
mrs_skeptik [129]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation: One of the potential consequences of groundwater overdraft is water-quality degradation. The USGS has characterized many linkages between water use and water quality and found that the processes affecting water quality vary widely and depend on a complex suite of factors. These factors can include natural geology and local aquifer conditions, human activities related to land use, and well construction and operation. Determining changes in groundwater quality over time involves systematic monitoring of constituents of concern, coupled with an understanding of the dynamics of a groundwater-flow system.

Groundwater quality can be assessed using both existing wells installed for water supply and wells installed specifically for monitoring. Groundwater monitoring-well networks and related data are developed based on the characteristics and needs of each groundwater basin.

Water-quality data for principal aquifers may be available based on information from existing technical studies or regulatory programs. The USGS has a wide body information, data, and tools to support water-quality assessments statewide. Combining USGS data with other quality-assured data can assist water managers and GSAs with basin-wide assessments and water quality mapping. Links to data are indicted at the conclusion of each section, for the example studies described below.

Scientific thinking: how can scientists assess the health risks of trans fats
Klio2033 [76]
Scientists can access the risks of trans fats by conducting an appropriate experiment which will show the effects of the fats on the human system.
This can be done by feeding known quantity of trans fats to rats over a specific period of time. During the period, the change in the rat weights will be measured on the daily basis and every other changes that is noted in the rats will be noted down. A control group of rats will be included in the experiment; these rats will be given normal rat feeds and not trans fats.
 When the period of feeding is completed, the rats will be killed, all the organs in the rats such as liver, blood, brains, kidney, etc will be harvested and these organs will then be biochemically analysed in order to compare the changes in them with that of a normal rats.
Rats are usually used in biochemical research because their systems and that of human is comparable. Any negative effect of trans fats that is noted in the rats will also hold true for human beings.

Earthquakes and faults form at __________ boundaries.
Len [333]

Answer:

transform

Explanation:

Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries where the plates meet. In fact, the locations of earthquakes and the kinds of ruptures they produce help scientists define the plate boundaries. There are three types of plate boundaries: spreading zones, transform faults, and subduction zones.
