Answer 2

Answer:

The downward movement of water through the pores of the soil is known as percolation.

Explanation:

• The movement of water into the soil is called infiltration, and the downward movement of water within the soil is called percolation
• Percolation is the ability of soil to absorb water. If we dump one bottle of water on the floor and another on the soil, the water on the floor will flow down while the water in the soil will be absorbed. The amount of water absorbed by any soil at any particular time is known as the percolation rate.
