Q010) A well in which the water rises on its own to a level above its aquifer Group of answer choices is the result of pressure within a confined aquifer that creates a potentiometric surface. is called an ordinary well. always pushes water higher than the ground surface. cannot be used for commercial or public use, as the water is under too much pressure.

The result of pressure within a confined aquifer that creates a potentiometric surface

Explanation:

There are conditions under the Earth's surface, where porous rock layers are tilted and also have a confining, less porous, rock layer about the their boundary, forming a confined aquifer. The existing pressure in the aquifer is therefore confined within the water and the porous  rock layer, such that drilling into the pressurized aquifer leads to the water rising under the pressure existing in the aquifer, to a potentiometric surface which is above the actual underground level of the aquifer

explanation:

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
