What is A body of rock or sediment that stores groundwater and allows the flow of groundwater called?
Do you mean an aquifer?I don't really get the question. Message me back.The correct answer is an aquifer.
A body of porous rock through which groundwater moves is called an?

A rock layer that stores and allows the flow of groundwater?
water.aquiferAquiferan aquifer
How is an aquifer different from an aquitard?
aquifer-is a wet underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials (gravel, Sand, silt, or clay) from which groundwater can be usefully extracted using a water well. WHILE Aquiclude-An impermeable body of rock or stratum of sediment that acts as a barrier to the flow of groundwater
What affects groundwater flow?
Groundwater flow is affected by factors such as the permeability of the rock or sediment through which it moves, the slope of the water table, and the presence of fractures or faults that may enhance or restrict flow. Human activities, such as pumping water from wells or constructing barriers like dams, can also influence groundwater flow patterns.
Is a sediment rock?
Sediment is the stuff that settles at the bottom of a liquid (such as the bottom of a pond). It can include sand and pebbles but also dead plants and animals. If conditions are right, the sediment can dry out and turn into a sedimentary rock (a rock made from sediment). Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils of plants or animals that fell into the "muck" at the bottom of a body of water. Cool, huh?
How is sediment?
The sediment transport by the rock cycle
What is created as a result of the moving of rock and sediments?
The ultimate creation of moving rock and sediment is a sediment deposit. Sediment deposits can eventually lithify into sedimentary rock.
Where groundwater bubbles or flows out of cracks in the rock are called?
places where groundwater bubbles or flows out of cracks in the rock is called springs.
How do you know a rock if whether it's a sediment rock or not?
you can tell if its a sediment rock if you can feel different elements of sand or pebbles
What is cross-cutting relationship?
A crosscutting feature occurs when a rock or body of sediment cuts across, through fractures, faults, or magma. Any feature that cuts across must be younger than the rock or sediment that it cuts across.
What are the rock and soil deposits by streams called?
Sediment
