Age 1: 1
A spring is a water resource formed when the side of a hill, a valley bottom or other
excavation intersects a flowing body of groundwater at or below the local water
table, below which the subsurface material is saturated with water. A spring is the
result of an aquifer being filled to the point that the water overflows onto the land
surface. They range in size from intermittent seeps, which flow only after much rain,
to huge pools flowing hundreds of millions of gallons daily.
Springs are not limited to the Earth's surface, though. Recently, scientists have
discovered hot springs at depths of up to 2.5 kilometers in the oceans, generally
along mid-ocean rifts (spreading ridges). The hot water (over 300 degrees Celsius)
coming from these springs is also rich in minerals and sulfur, which results in a
unique ecosystem where unusual and exotic sea life seems to thrive.
Water flow from springs
The amount of water that flows from springs depends on many factors, including the
size of the caverns within the rocks, the water pressure in the aquifer, the size of the
spring basin, and the amount of rainfall. Human activities also can influence the
volume of water that discharges from a spring-ground-water withdrawals in an area
can reduce the pressure in an aquifer, causing water levels in the aquifer system to
drop and ultimately decreasing the flow from the spring. Most people probably think
of a spring as being like a pool of water-and normally that is the case. But springs
can occur when geologic, hydrologic, or human forces cut into the underground
layers of soil and rock where water is in movement.

Iwill only mark brainliest if you get it correct. read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. examine the diagram and text: you see water all around you every day as lakes, rivers, ice, rain and snow. there are also vast amounts of water that are unseen—water existing in the ground. and even though groundwater is unseen, it is moving below your feet right now. as part of the water cycle, groundwater is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals. people have been using groundwater for thousands of years and continue to use it today, largely for drinking water and irrigation. life on earth depends on groundwater just as it does on surface water. there are rivers flowing below our feet … a myth? have you ever heard that there are rivers of water flowing underground? do you think it’s true? actually, it is pretty much a myth. even though there are some caverns, lava, and ice tubes, and horizontal springs that can carry water, the vast majority of underground water occupies the space between rocks and subsurface material. some rivers, such as the alpha river in northern florida, usa, can disappear underground during low flow periods. generally, water underground is more like water in a sponge. it occupies the space is between soil and rock particles. at a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped into used by people. courtesy of the u. s. geological survey is there missing or extraneous information in this diagram? are all of the details in the text relevant and accurate? explain using details from the text.
