Question
- what causes the movement of groundwater? *
it flows because of air currents
the removal of water
the addition of new water
the underground peaks and valleys
- why would a spring flow out of the ground in a wet region? *
the water table is deep below the surface
the water table is close to the surface
a volcanic eruption occured
an earthquake has occured
For question 12: Groundwater movement is mainly due to the addition of new water (recharge) which creates a hydraulic gradient. Air currents don't directly cause groundwater movement. Removal of water (discharge) is more about depletion rather than the cause of movement. Underground peaks and valleys (topography) can influence flow path but the addition of new water is a key driver.
For question 13: In a wet region, a spring flows out because the water table (the upper surface of the groundwater) is close to the surface. If the water table were deep, water wouldn't easily flow out as a spring. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are not typical causes for spring formation in a wet region in the context of normal groundwater - spring relationships.
