Most of the Earth's surface is visually made up of sedimentary rocks, while the volume of the Earth is mainly igneous

True

Suppose an igneous rock is formed. Then it would be eroded and deposited to form sedimentary rock which will be changed in metamorphic rock by increasing in temperature and pressure condition

Suppose you are given the power to reshape the Earth. While maintaining total surface area, construct a new planet whose distances may be accurately represented on a flat map. (Hint: The previous obstruction was the curvature of the sphere. Create an object whose curvature is no longer distorted when mapping to the plane.)

An unconfined aquifer made up of silt loam has an initial piezometric surface of 40 m. If wells 28 m and 15 m away from the pumping well have drawdowns of 4 m and 8 m, respectively, what is the pumping rate (m3/d) of the well? Based on this, if you wanted to keep the same drawdowns at the observation wells, but needed a drawdown of 10 m in your pumping well, what diameter would the pumping well casing need...

While taking a shower, you notice that the shower head is made up of 36 small round openings, each with a radius of 1.4 mm. You also determine that it takes 7.0 s for the shower to completely fill a 1- liter container you hold in the water stream. The water in your house is pumped by a pump in the basement, 6.2 m below the level of the shower head. The pump maintains an absolute pressure of 1.6 atmospheres....
