what are geological formations that restrict groundwater flow between aquifers called?
a. aquitards
b. aquicludes
c. aquifers
d. aquicaps
question 13
1 pts
which rock type is most susceptible to dissolution, leading to karst landscape formation?
a. granite
b. sandstone
c. limestone

Explanation:

1. For the first question: Aquitards are geological formations that slow or restrict groundwater flow between aquifers. Aquicludes are impermeable (block flow entirely), aquifers are water-bearing formations, and aquicaps are not a standard term for this concept.
2. For Question 13: Karst landscapes form when water dissolves soluble rocks. Limestone is a carbonate rock highly susceptible to this dissolution, while granite and sandstone are far less soluble.

Answer:

1. A. Aquitards
2. C. Limestone
