An example of an underground aquifer?
The source of an artesian well is an underground aquifer.
A well in which water rises because of pressure within the aquifer?
In an artesian well, water rises because of pressure sustained within the aquifer. In this system, water sometimes escapes to the surface to cause artesian springs.
What are three ways people can get water from an aquifer?
Most water from an aquifer is accessed by drilling.
When the pressure of rock layers pressing on an aquifer from above and below squeezes water up to earth's surface is called?
artesian well
What two conditions must exist for an artesian well to form?
Conditions necessary for an artesian well are an inclined aquifer sandwiched between impervious rock layers above and below
The rock layers in an artesian formation with those in an ordinary aquifer?
they are harder and not easily broken.
Which is better for drinking water from an aquifer or an artesian aquifer?
from an aquifer
An example of an underground aquifer?
The source of an artesian well is an underground aquifer.
When is a well an artesian well?
An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater under positive pressure. This causes the water level in a well to rise to a point where hydrostatic equilibrium has been reached. A well drilled into such an aquifer is called an artesian well.
A crack in the cap rock of the aquifer allows the water to flow from a?
An Artesian Spring
Which term is used to describe groundwater rising to the surface due to pressure in the aquifer?
artesian well
A well in which water rises because of pressure within the aquifer?
In an artesian well, water rises because of pressure sustained within the aquifer. In this system, water sometimes escapes to the surface to cause artesian springs.
What is a structure that stores water?
A reservoir,a dam,an artesian basin, an aquifer, a chalk substrate.
What are three ways people can get water from an aquifer?
Most water from an aquifer is accessed by drilling.
When the pressure of rock layers pressing on an aquifer from above and below squeezes water up to earth's surface is called?
artesian well
When cap rock is capped?
When a caprock is cracked it is called an artesian aquifer. Artesian aquifer contains groundwater that comes from the above water that ends up having positive pressure causing the water level to rise to a point where hydrolastic equilibrium occur.
What is a sentence for the word aquifer?
The artesian aquifer lies deep below the earth's surface. "Don't go down to the aquifer," warned Dr. Warren. "The last couple who went didn't come back!"
