The Ogallala Aquifer cannot be replenished as quickly as it is being depleted because the recharge zone receives limited precipitation and the process of water seeping down to the aquifer is slow due to the thick layer of clay and sediment. Additionally, increased pumping for agricultural and urban use has further strained the aquifer's ability to recharge naturally.

What process moves energy from the Earth's surface high in the troposphere?

The process that moves energy from the Earth's surface high in the troposphere is convection. As the Earth's surface heats up, the air near the surface also warms up and becomes less dense. This warm air rises, carrying energy with it, until it reaches high altitudes in the troposphere.


What minerals would be least immune to chemical weathering limestone quartz marble and granite?

Why didn't people believe Wegener's theory of continental drift?

At the time, Wegener's theory lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, there was limited evidence to support his ideas, and geologists were hesitant to accept such a radical departure from the prevailing scientific consensus. Wegener's background in meteorology also led some to dismiss his geological theories.


Why wouldn't Braddock's tactics works in a forest?

He always had his soldiers line up in rows, marching close to each other, but in a forest, with many, many trees, the soldiers couldnt stay in line easily, let alone march close to each other.( unless you let some walk into trees!)
