Which of these is incorrect?

• The water in the bottom layer has been there for thousands of years

• The water available to the pumped well uses only water stored for days and years.

• The water pumped from the well will be replaced immediately from the water in all the layers beneath it.

• If rain falls on the recharge area, it may take centuries or millennia to sink to the lowest storage levels.

• but minerals and resources do not move and stay where they are

• This causes more preciptiation (rain)

• Tennessee's oil reserves evaporate

Igneous rock will form:

• Deep within a subduction zone due to heat and pressure

• Near volcanic activity due to the cooling of magma/lava

• Near water due to the cementing of sediment

• from magic sparkles

Which two rock types were originally there? HINT: The rock that goes through the others invaded AFTER the others were already there.

• igneous and metamorphic; the sediment settled on top

• igneous and sedimentary; the metamorphic was forced up by subduction

• sedimentary and metamorphic; the igneous came from an upward flow of magma
