Does gravity cause groundwater to move through connecting pores of earths surface?

Water will always find its own level. So gravity will cause rainwater to sink into the ground if the surface is porous enough. Water will run off into streams and rivers, more so if the soil is waterlogged already, or if the composition is clay-like.

Gravity causes groundwater to move through connecting pores of earth crust?
gravity does do that
Does gravity cause groundwater to move through connecting pores of Earth's crust?
gravity does do that
Once precipitation reaches the earth's surface it is moved through a watershed as groundwater or surface water by the force of?
Gravity
What is the groundwater flow?
The flow of groundwater is an aquifer.
Why does water move into the ground to create groundwater?
Through porous rock mostly. Also through caves and cracks in the rock.
How does groundwater exit below the surface of the Earth?
From aquifers, through artesian basins, springs and wells.
What is an area of land through which water percolates to be stored as groundwater called?
Is surface water
What is Freshwater found under the earth's surface?
groundwater. not clean though. has to go through processes and stuff
Is Stream flow down slope?
yes through surface run-off or groundwater flow
Are geysers related to the water cycle?
Yes. Geysers blast boiling groundwater above the surface of the land, taking some groundwater while the groundwater raises somewhere else, so the water cycles through everywhere.
What are the four misconceptions about ground water?
Misconception: Groundwater is a non-renewable resource. Groundwater is constantly renewed by passing from atmospheric or surface water to groundwater in the hydrologic cycle. Misconception: Water from springs is safe without treatment. Although flow through the ground does have a purifying effect on water by filtering sediment, bacteria, and certain chemicals, the purification effect is limited. Large concentrations of chemicals may be too much to be completely removed, and certain chemicals may not be removed by the ground at all. Some groundwater is naturally unsuitable for drinking because of the minerals it has dissolved from the rock through which it flows. Misconception: Groundwater and surface water are separate. Groundwater, surface water, and atmospheric water are intimately related through the earth's water recycling machine, called the hydrologic cycle. Water passes repeatedly through all three parts of the cycle. Misconception: Groundwater flows in underground rivers. Little groundwater flows in open channels beneath the surface. Most flows through fractures in the rock, through millimeter sized opening between layers, and between the grains of the rock.
What is the difference between groundwater and aquifers?
Groundwater is any water present below the earth's surface. An aquifer is a porous and permeable zone in a rock or soil through which ground water flows.
