16. Fresh water can be found above and below the Earth’s surface. Glaciers, lakes, and rivers
are the sources of fresh water above the Earth’s surface, whereas fresh water located
below the Earth’s surface is known as groundwater. Groundwater is found in the cracks and
spaces in soil, sand, and rock. It is the water that soaked into the soil from rain and other
precipitations. In the dry season, most of fresh water on the Earth’s surface evaporates and

groundwater?
A. It does not affect the amount of groundwater because the groundwater is covered by a
thick layer of soil and rocks.

Question 1.
Explanation: When the light passes different mediums, in this case, from
air to water, the direction of light changes on an angle. This causes slightly
bending of glass rod in the water. It is called refraction.
Question 2.
Corals and shells are living in the shallow ocean, therefore the land used
to be under ocean where water temperature was warm. The stratum
deformation shows that the land was created by volcano activity or
earthquake on the seabed that will trigger plate moving.
Question 3.
Position: B
Explanation: Ice is less dense than water which makes the ice lighter than
water. However, ice is denser than oil. Thus, the ice stays between
oil & water.
