Fluvial Geomorphology (Grade 12 NSC Matric Geography): Flashcards

Water stored beneath Earth's surface

Water soaking down into the ground

Upper boundary of groundwater zone

Rock porosity, slope gradient, vegetation coverage

Allow water to pass through easily, more infiltration

Sandstone and loose sandy soils

Water moves slowly, more time to soak into ground

Slows water flow, promotes more infiltration

Process of replenishing groundwater supplies

Inverse - when one increases, other decreases
