Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What most likely happens if water flows through a permeable soil layer and reaches a clay layer? It pools on top of the clay layer. A water feature that could be a source of groundwater for humans is found at a location on a hillside where Earth’s surface is lower than the water table.
