In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:
runoff |
|
water table |
|
rivers |
|
oceans |
The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.
When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
refraction |
|
conduction |
|
convection |
|
reflection |
Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?
bacteria |
|
archaea |
|
eukaryota |
|
animalia |
