In a one-dimensional flow setup consisting of two different soils, one (soil 1) from a portion of the length of the soil column and the other (soil 2) filling the rest of the tube, the following is true:   1 The total head h varies nonlinearly from one end to the other end of the soil column.   2 The total head h varies linearly within soil 1 and it varies linearly within soil 2, but the slope of the variation  changes as you go from soil 1 to soil 2. At the interface between the two soils, the value of the total head h is the  same both in soil 1 and soil 2.   3 The total head h varies linearly within soil 1 and it varies linearly within soil 2, but the slope of the variation changes as you go from soil 1 to soil 2. At the interface between the two soils, there is a discontinuity of the value of the total head h.   4 The total head h varies linearly from one end to the other end of the soil column.

Question
In a one-dimensional flow setup consisting of two different soils, one (soil 1) from a portion of the length of the soil column and the other (soil 2) filling the rest of the tube, the following is true:
 
1 The total head h varies nonlinearly from one end to the other end of the soil column.
 
2 The total head varies linearly within soil 1 and it varies linearly within soil 2, but the slope of the variation  changes as you go from soil 1 to soil 2. At the interface between the two soils, the value of the total head h is the  same both in soil 1 and soil 2.
 
3 The total head h varies linearly within soil 1 and it varies linearly within soil 2, but the slope of the variation changes as you go from soil 1 to soil 2. At the interface between the two soils, there is a discontinuity of the value of the total head h.
 
4 The total head h varies linearly from one end to the other end of the soil column.
