Answers
1
Groundwater is water that
sits on Earth's surface and is stored in bodies of water
seeps into Earth and is stored underground in aquifers
2
What is the difference between surface water and groundwater?
Groundwater and surface water are the same thing
Groundwater goes to aquifers and surface water goes to rivers and lakes
Groundwater drains into lakes and surface water drains into rivers
Groundwater is underground and surface water is in aquifers
3
S waves
are the first to arrive at the surface
do not travel through liquids
travel through liquids
travel through both liquids and solids
4
What is a rift valley?
A mountain chain that rises up from the ocean floor.
A mountain range on the continental crust.
A deep underwater canyon.
A deep valley on the continental crust.
5
sedimentary rock becomes metamorphic through
melting
compacting & cementing
wind & erosion
heat & pressure
6
Which of the following best describes deposition?
The downward movement of water through soil and rocks
A process in which wind and water drop or deposit sediments

19
Why would coal be unevenly distributed?

21
weather and erosion leads to which type of rock?
