Question

7 multiple choice 2 points how can the excessive withdrawal of groundwater affect the environment? it has no impact on the environment. it leads to increased rainfall. it can cause land subsidence and the drying up of wells. it promotes healthy ecosystems. 8 multiple choice 2 points what is groundwater? water found in the ocean water that falls from the sky as precipitation water found on the surface of the earth water stored below the earths surface in aquifers 9 multiple choice 2 points what is the global conveyor belt? a type of ship used for ocean exploration a device used to measure the depth of the ocean a term for the water cycle a system of interconnected deep ocean currents that circulate around the earth

Explanation:

For question 7: Excessive groundwater withdrawal causes land subsidence (due to the loss of water support in soil/rock layers) and drying up of wells (as the water table drops).
For question 8: Groundwater is defined as water stored below the Earth's surface in aquifers.
For question 9: The global conveyor belt is a system of interconnected deep - ocean currents that circulate around the Earth.

Answer:

1. It can cause land subsidence and the drying up of wells.
2. Water stored below the Earth's surface in aquifers.
3. A system of interconnected deep ocean currents that circulate around the Earth.
