ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: A marble is an example of a metamorphic rock It is composed of recrystallized carbonated minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite.
17885. A useful soil moisture for plant growth is-
capillary water
gravitational water
hygroscopic water
all of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Capillary action is the same effect that causes porous materials, such as sponges, to soak up liquids Capillarity is the primary force that enables the soil to retain water, as well as to regulate its movement.
17886. A manhole is generally provided at each-
bend
change of gradient
junction
all the above
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: A manhole is an opening to a confined space such as a shaft, utility valult. Manhole is generally provided at each bend, Junction, change of gradient, change of sewer diameter.
17887. The water bearing strata layers of sand, gravel etc. is called-
an aquifer
an aquifuge
an aquiclude
zone of saturation
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: An aquifer is an area of rock underneath the surface of the earth which absorbs and holds water.

surface water
sub-surface water
run-off
portable water
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: They extract freshwater from subsurface or deeper groundwater aquifers. The approach can include both creating new boreholes and tube wells (for example as a drought response measure), or deepening or rehabilitating existing ones.
