Aquifer - ANSWER-water bearing geological formation that can store and transit usable amounts of water. high porosity, and permeability aquitard - ANSWER-somewhat restricts water movement aquiclude - ANSWER-layer that completely prevents water movement unconfined aquifer - ANSWER-top is water table, recharged by local rainfall, generally freshwater, cheap to drill wells, easily contaminated, potentiometric surface=water table confined aquifer - ANSWER-top is a confining layer, can be...

What does it mean when you have topographic contours on a 1:24,000 scale base map that are roughly circular and have hachures on the counters? - ANSWER-They represent a closed depression You have a base map at a scale of 1:6,000 and you need to represent the information you obtained during a field investigation of a site that is one square mile, that included mapping of your site as well as subsurface exploration results. What do you need to do to the map to make it work? - ANSWER-Use a large...

True CORRECT ANSWER T/F: Hydraulic gradient, i, is defined as the energy or head loss, h, per unit length, l. True CORRECT ANSWER T/F: Seepage velocity, the actual velocity of the water flowing in the voids, is greater than the discharge, or superficial, velocity and is related by porosity. Degree of Soil Saturation Void Ratio Grain size distribution Pore size distribution CORRECT ANSWER Hydraulic conductivity, or permeability, depends on the following: False CORRECT ANSWER T/F: Ther...

What does the "Single-Point Resistivity Log" show and what area is it limited to? - ANSWER-A log that measures the resistivity using 2 electrodes and having a limited area of investigation of from 5 to 10 times the electrode diameter What is the "Area of Influence" of a well? - ANSWER-The area within which the potentiometric surface is lowered by withdrawal or raised by injection, of water through a well Define aquifer - ANSWER-A geologic unit that is saturated and sufficiently permeab...

Where and why do earthquakes occur? - ANSWER-Earthquakes occur along plate boundaries and faults due to rocks underground breaking along a fault Are faults the same as plate boundaries? - ANSWER-No; Faults are cracks in rocks/plates, and plate boundaries are where the plates end (Plate boundaries are all faults, but not all faults are plate boundaries - most are not) What are the major types of seismic waves? Which travels fastest? Which causes most damage? - ANSWER-P and S waves. S waves ...

ABCTE Elementary Education Terms 208 Questions with Verified Answers Acceleration - CORRECT ANSWER A change in velocity Acute - CORRECT ANSWER An angle measuring less than 90 degrees Affix - CORRECT ANSWER A linguistic set of letters added to a word to affect its meaning. For example, the word decompression has two—the prefix de- (meaning to separate, to stop, to contradict, etc.) and the suffix -ion (meaning that the word refers to a condition or process).
