Precipitation falls to the ground and eventually ends up in the ocean. Which of the following is the most direct way for the water to get from the soil to the ocean? A. By way of a recharge zone with a low percolation rate B. By way of a closed watershed C. By way of an open watershed D. By way of thermohaline circulation within an aquifer​
Answer: D. By way of thermohaline circulation within an aquifer​
Explanation: The most direct way for the water to get from the soil to the ocean is by way of a recharge zone with a low percolation rate. Human activity in the recharge zone can limit the amount water that reaches the aquifer.
