9. special-purpose map made to show geological features.
12. Latin phrase, means “on site”, “locally”, “on the premises” to describe an event where it takes place.

10. is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.
11. underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted using a water well.
13. structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle.
14. durable surfacing of a road, airstrip, or similar area. Its primary function is to transmit loads to the sub-base and underlying soil.
