What is an underground layer of water-bearing rock called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Aquifer

Correct answer: B, aquifer. An aquifer is a body or layer of permeable rock, sediment, or unconsolidated material that stores and transmits groundwater. Rainwater can infiltrate into the soil and percolate downward until it reaches a saturated zone. Water in that zone may move through connected pores and cracks and can sometimes be obtained through wells or springs. A, a glacier, is a large mass of ice on land, not an underground groundwater-bearing layer. C, a lake, is an inland surface water body. D, a river is flowing surface water in a channel. An aquifer is not simply any underground space; it must be able to hold and transmit useful groundwater. Memory cue: aqua means water, so an aquifer is a water-bearing underground formation.
