Question 14 of 43intermediate💡 UnderstandShort Answer2 marks

When it rained, a lot of water fell to the ground. Where did all this water go?

Correct Answer

When rain falls, the water goes in different directions.

Some water gets absorbed into the soil, some collects in puddles, some flows into streams and rivers, and some gets stored underground between rocks and soil.

The water in wells comes from this underground water.
