Soil property that allows water to pass through

• Permeability
• Runoff
• Particle size
• Composition

Suppose there is a drought in this area. The level of the river drops because of it.
What else could happen here?

• The river will immediately rise again.
• The water table will rise. 
• The water table will fall. 
• A new aquifer will form.

An area that is drained by a river and all the streams that empty into it, the tributaries, is called this.

• aquifer
• divide
• water table
• watershed 

In the groundwater diagram, what is  E?

• Zone of Aeration
• Zone of Saturation
• Surface Water
• Water Table

In the groundwater diagram, what is  D?

• Zone of Saturation
• Water Table
• Zone of Aeration
• Run Off

In the groundwater diagram, what is  C?

• Zone of Saturation
• Surface Wqter
• Zone of Aeration
• Water Table

Which of the following has the lowest porosity/ permeability?

• Clay
• Silt
• Gravel
• Sand

The boundary between the zone of aeration and the zone of saturation is called the...

• run off
• tributaries
• water table
• watershed

Impermeable materials...

• have an abundance of pores.
• let water in.
• have little to no pores.
• drain tributaries

Water that passes through permeable layers of soil and rock.

• deposition
• divide
• groundwater
• runoff (surface water)
