Clemson Geology 1010- Exam 4 Latest Update Graded A Groundwater: why should we care? YOU MUST have this resource to survive hydrologic cycle ocean = biggest reservoir (1,000,000 units) 2nd largest = glacier (26000 units) 3rd largest = ground water (15000 units) runoff water that runs across the landscape and eventually ends up in a river or stream and continues to move downstream infiltration water soaks INTO ground, becomes part of ground water supply porosity The percentage of the total vo...

Hydrolic Cycle correct answers movement of water through the hydrosphere Hoe does water get trapped in certain parts of the hydrolic cycle? correct answers - longest in ice caps (10,000-200,000 years) - shortest in living organisms (hours-days) - shallow-deep ground water (100-10,000 years) so once it gets polluted it's really hard to clean Why are we so interested in groundwater? correct answers - water stored in sediments or rocks underground provides ~2/3 of the water we use - its t...
