What is an aquiclude and how does it differ from an aquitard?
An aquiclude is a layer of rock that allows the flow of water, while an aquitard completely prevents the flow of water.
An aquiclude is a layer of sediment that restricts the flow of water, while an aquitard is a layer that allows the flow of water.
An aquiclude is a layer of rock or sediment that allows the flow of water, while an aquitard is a layer that does not affect the flow of water.
