Explain the difference between unconfined and confined aquifers.

Unconfined aquifers are deeper than confined aquifers.

Unconfined aquifers are always dry, while confined aquifers are always full of water.

Unconfined aquifers are not restricted by impermeable layers, while confined aquifers are sandwiched between impermeable layers.

Unconfined aquifers have higher water pressure than confined aquifers.

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.

An aquiclude is a layer of rock or sediment that does not allow the flow of water, while an aquitard is a layer that restricts the flow of water but does not completely prevent it.

Describe the role of aquitards in groundwater flow.

Aquitards are used to extract groundwater more efficiently.

Aquitards have no effect on the flow of groundwater.

What is porosity in the context of hydrogeology?

Percentage of void space in a rock or soil

The temperature of water in a hydrogeological system

The color of a rock or soil

The weight of water in a given volume of rock or soil

6.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

How does porosity affect the movement of groundwater?

Porosity has no effect on the movement of groundwater

Porosity causes groundwater to move faster

Porosity only affects the color of groundwater

Porosity affects the movement of groundwater by determining how much water can be stored and how easily it can flow through the rock or sediment.
