The groundwater in a certain area is being pumped out to provide drinking water. What must happen for the water table to remain unchanged? The rate of discharge must equal the rate of recharge.

The rate of discharge must be less than the rate of recharge.

The rate of discharge must be greater than the rate of recharge.

The rate of discharge must fluctuate less than the rate of recharge.

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water.
