Question

questions 2 and 3 refer to the following. 2 mark for review which letter correctly identifies the part of the hydrologic cycle that is most directly affected by impervious building materials, such as concrete and asphalt? a a b b c c d d

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the hydrologic cycle components:

• A: Likely precipitation or surface water intake (not directly affected by impervious materials).
• B: Evaporation (unrelated to impervious surfaces).
• C: Groundwater flow (less directly affected by surface materials).
• D: Surface runoff. Impervious materials (concrete, asphalt) prevent water from infiltrating the ground, increasing surface runoff. So D is the part most directly affected.

Answer:

D. D
