P. A fault juxtaposing permeable and impermeable rock Q. A permeable bed resting on an impermeable one R. A valley cutting below the water table
Answer: C
Correct answer: 1-Q, 2-P, 3-R
Each spring type is a different geological reason for the water table to reach the surface. A contact spring emerges where a permeable bed rests on an impermeable one and the junction outcrops. A fault spring emerges where faulting has brought permeable rock against impermeable. A valley spring emerges where erosion has cut the valley floor below the water table.
