Water moves down through ground layers

that is very true

Explanation:

astute observation

Water not used by plants moves deeper into the ground.The water moves downward through empty spaces or cracks in the soil, and sand, or rocks until it reaches a layer of rock through which water cannot easily move. Water seeping down from the land surface adds to the ground water and is called recharged water.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
