When rainwater falls on the ground, due to which force does it become groundwater?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Gravitational force

Direct answer: B, gravitational force. After rain reaches the ground, some water enters the pores and cracks of soil and rocks. This downward movement is called infiltration or, as water moves deeper, percolation. Gravity pulls the water downward, while the spaces in soil and rock allow it to pass and some layers may store it as groundwater. A magnetic force does not normally drive rainwater into soil. C, friction, resists movement rather than pulling water downward. D, capillary force can help water move through very small pores and may move it in different directions, but it is not the main force responsible for the downward entry described here. Memory cue: gravity pulls water downhill and underground.
