What is water stored beneath rocks and soil called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Groundwater

Correct answer: B, groundwater. Rainwater that is not carried away as runoff can infiltrate downward through soil. It may then collect in the spaces between soil particles and in cracks or pores of rocks below the land surface. This stored subsurface water is called groundwater. It can move slowly and may be reached through wells, springs, or tube wells. A, surface water, is found above the ground in rivers, lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. C, a glacier, is a large body of frozen ice, usually found in cold regions or high mountains, not water stored beneath soil and rocks. D, water vapour is the gaseous form of water in the atmosphere. Memory cue: “below ground” and “infiltrated water” point to groundwater.
