how are aquifers different from other sources of water?

Question

a aquifers are located under the ground
b aquifers are sources of inland saltwater
c unlike rivers and lakes, aquifers are unlimited sources of water
d aquifers are human-made sources of water

Answer 1

The correct answer is: a) aquifers are located under the ground.

Aquifers are underground layers of water-bearing rock or sediment that can yield water to wells and springs. They differ from other water sources like rivers and lakes, which are surface water bodies. The other options do not accurately describe the characteristics of aquifers.
