1. why is a water table not like a table in your home? *

the water table is covered is below the earths surface
the water table is full of water

1. what is going to be more effective in a desert, a shallow well or a deep one?

a shallow one
a deep one
they will be equally effective
they will be equally ineffective

Explanation:

• For question 9: "Saturated" means filled completely. Rocks and soil filled with water is described by "saturated". "Covered" implies on - the - surface covering, "percolating" is about water movement through, and "devoid" means lacking.
• For question 10: A water table has peaks and valleys (uneven), while a home table is flat. The fact that it's below the surface or full of water doesn't contrast it with a home table as much as the unevenness.
• For question 11: In a desert, water is often deep underground. A deep well can reach the water source more effectively than a shallow well.

Answer:

1. Saturated
2. The water table is not even, there are peaks and valleys
3. A deep one
