What is the role of an aquifer in the water cycle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It stores groundwater

Correct answer: B. An aquifer is a layer or body of underground permeable rock, sediment or soil that can store and transmit groundwater. Rainwater and surface water may infiltrate into the ground and percolate downward until they reach a saturated zone. The aquifer then acts as an underground reservoir, and wells may obtain water from it. Some aquifers also allow slow groundwater movement toward springs, streams or other outlets. A is wrong because clouds form in the atmosphere when water vapour condenses. C is wrong because an aquifer does not stop rainfall; it may receive part of the infiltrated rainwater. D is wrong because storage underground is not the same as increasing evaporation. Memory cue: an aquifer is a natural underground water store, not an underground river in every case.
