GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -While surface water can seep underground to become groundwater, groundwater can resurface on land to replenish surface water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Groundwater and surface water are interconnected; groundwater becomes surface water when it discharges to surface water bodies. Most streams keep flowing during the dry summer months because groundwater discharges into them from the zone of saturation-this flow is called baseflow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Groundwater comes from beneath the Earth’s surface, whereas surface water is found on top of the Earth’s crust in lakes, rivers, and so on. As surface water is exposed, it is more likely to contain contaminants than groundwater, however, that is not always the case, which we will explain in this article.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following is a true statement about surface water? It makes up less than 1 percent of all water on Earth. What is the relationship between groundwater and surface water? Surface water percolates through the soil to form groundwater.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: Of the following, the statement about groundwater that is not true is underground aquifers holding about 99% of all liquid fresh water. About 30% of freshwater is stored in aquifers.
