Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A spring is a natural flow of groundwater out of Earth's surface. Artesian wells and geysers are also related to groundwater, but they involve specific mechanisms of water flow, whereas a spring is a general term for any location where groundwater reaches the surface. Recharge areas are locations where water infiltrates into the ground to replenish groundwater, but they do not necessarily involve the outflow of water at the surface.
