Question

Where is groundwater found?

in lakes and rivers
below Earth’s surface
on ice sheets at the poles
at the mouths of rivers and streams

Answer 1

B.) Below Earth's surface

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) is incorrect because the water in lakes and rivers is on top of the Earth's surface. It may seem to be underground, but this water is still exposed to the atmosphere.

B.) is correct because groundwater is defined as water that has seeped through the soil and remains in the small spaces between rocks and soil. Therefore, this water is beneath the Earth's outermost surface.

C.) is incorrect because the water in ice sheets is not totally underground. The water at the bottom of ice sheets may be underwater/underground, but the top of the sheets is above the Earth's surface.

D.) is incorrect because this water is not beneath the Earth's surface. While there is usually a lot of sediment in and around this water, it is not enough to completely soak up the water.

Answer 2

Groundwater is found at mouths of rivers and streams

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this because its not on ice sheets, not in lakes and rivers because its "ground water", and lastly not below Earth's surface, because there is barely any water or "ground water " below Earths surface.
