Aquifers absorb water the same way that sponges do. However, aquifers are actually permeable rocks that lay underground and soak up moisture.

How do golf ball sponges die?
Sea sponges can only survive in saltwater, so if you put them in freshwater, they will quickly die. They are also very sensitive to air and do not like to be taken out of the water because their pores get filled with air. If too many of their pores are filled with air, they will die.
Why is there water in aquifers?
Aquifers are underground layers of rock or sediment that can hold and transmit water. This water comes from sources like rainfall and surface water that has seeped into the ground over time, filling the empty spaces between rock particles within the aquifer. The water in aquifers is stored underground and can be pumped out for human use.
What are the example of hydrosphere?
Mostly anything with water like..RiversOceansStreamsLakesBut not anything like wells or aquifers.
Aquifers form above this type of soil?
Aquifers form above permeable soil, such as sand or gravel, that allows water to flow easily. Impermeable soils like clay or bedrock will prevent the formation of aquifers.
Where does the water collect underground?
Water collects underground in areas known as aquifers, which are underground layers of rock or sediment that hold water. These aquifers can be tapped into through wells for water supply. Groundwater is replenished through processes like infiltration of rainfall and snowmelt.
How are aquifers and aqueducts alike and different?
Well, aquifers and aqueducts both have to do with water, but they work in different ways. Aquifers are underground layers of rock that hold water like a sponge, while aqueducts are man-made structures that carry water from one place to another. Both are important for providing water to communities, just in different ways, like how different colors come together to make a beautiful painting.
What is the underground water accumulation including the formation of aquifers?
water accumulation is caused by underground atmosphere eg ;reaction of acids in carbonates,gases like hydrogen sulphide because normally it is associated with stagnant water,heat and the vapours.So it appears like fog or mists in underground.
Why do you confuse sponges with plants?
Sponges look like plants. They do not appear to move and they are firmly attached to their substrate as if by roots. Unless you follow a sponge's life cycle, and see that the young sponges are motile, swimming freely in the water, and observe that sponges are not photosynthetic, obtaining their food by filtering microscopic organisms from the water, you might be confused.
What body plan do phylum porifera aka sponges have?
It has no symmetry, and they have jelly like cells that transport food throughout the body. Collar Cells: fires spines that traps food. Spiky things: Protects the Sponges's body.
Do sponges live in fresh water or salt water?
Nearly all most all of the 5,000 known sponges are found in saltwater; however, 150 species live in freshwater.
What is consolidated aquifer?
A consolidated aquifer is a type of underground reservoir where the water is stored within rock formations that are solid and have low porosity. These aquifers typically consist of geological structures like sandstone, limestone, or granite that allow water to be stored and flow through them. Consolidated aquifers are usually deeper and have a lower water yield compared to unconsolidated aquifers.
Where does sea sponges get their name?
Because they are type of plant... they are always sucking the water of the ocean....like a sponge
