What is the main gas in the air, according to the reading?

• Nitrogen

• Oxygen

Why is groundwater not immediately affected by air temperature changes?  

• Because groundwater is stored deep under the surface, insulated from temperature

• Because air temperature is too low to affect groundwater

• Because groundwater flows upwards to avoid heat

• Because air temperature directly changes groundwater only in winter
