What happens to groundwater when the rate of infiltration is less than the rate of water being pumped out of the ground? a. the water table is unchanged. b. the water table increases. c. the water table lowers. d. the water table is unaffected by infiltration. select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

C

Explanation:

This is because the water underground also runs towards sea level, like surface runoff, though it does so slowly than surface waters because it has to pass through the pores in the rocks underground. The water table is slowly replenished by infiltrating water from precipitation. During desertification, the increased surface runoffs reduce the infiltration of rain water hence causing a lowering of the water table. This is why the water table is higher in places with forests and vegetation that reduce runoff and encourage water infiltration.

hi.

Explanation:

its c. bye. twitch.tv/arleis01 btw

metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change). the change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids. i hoped i !
