Where does groundwater collect?
Groundwater is stored in, and moves slowly through, moderately to highly permeable rocks called aquifers. The word aquifer comes from the two Latin words, aqua, or water, and ferre, to bear or carry. Aquifers literally carry water underground. An aquifer may be a layer of gravel or sand, a layer of sandstone or cavernous limestone, a rubbly top or base of lava flows, or even a large body of massive rock, such as fractured granite, that has sizable cracks and fissures. In terms of storage at any one instant in time, groundwater is the largest single supply of fresh water available for use by humans.

What causes the most erosion on earth?
The main cause of the majority of erosion on Earth is water. Erosion is caused by a number of water-related processes, including: River Erosion: Rivers that run over the surface of the Earth have the ability to erode and transport a sizable amount of soil and silt. They can sculpt valleys and canyons over time. Rainfall Erosion: When raindrops hit the ground, they knock soil particles loose and move them away, causing erosion. Erosion along the Coast: Ocean waves, tides, and currents cause erosion along the coast. Loss of land and modifications to coastlines may occur from this. Massive ice formations known as glaciers have the power to destroy the terrain by dragging rocks and sediments behind them as they advance. Erosion due to wind: In arid areas, wind can pick up and move loose soil and sand particles, leading to erosion. Although water erosion is the most significant, the Earth's surface is also shaped over geological time scales by other forces such as wind, ice, and gravity. Deforestation and construction are two examples of human activities that can hasten erosion processes, increase soil loss, and harm the environment.
