In this chapter, we will discuss the role of groundwater in these and other geologic processes. Nearer the surface, they play a role in such geomorphologic processes as karst formation, natural slope development, and stream bed erosion. At depth, groundwater flow systems control the migration and accumulation of petroleum. On another front, subsurface flow systems are responsible for the transfer of heat and chemical constituents through geologic systems, and as a result, groundwater is important in such processes as the development of geothermal systems, the thermodynamics of pluton emplacement, and the genesis of economic mineral deposits. For example, the fluid pressures that build up on faults are now recognized to have a controlling influence on fault movement and the generation of earthquakes. Groundwater plays an important role in many geologic processes.
