The average time a water molecule spends in a store is known as the

amd they are broad estimates. Some groundwater can be up to 10000 years old, this is known as

and is non-renewable. Water frozen in ice also spends a long time in the store; this is known as the

Explanation

Coniferous forests intercept 10% more rainfall than deciduous forests.

The rate of interception is dependent on:

as if this is greater/more intense, interception decreases.and also

vegetation

type, as if this is denser, interception is greater.
