How do you know the standing water is not there because the sediment is saturated?

It is there because, of the type of soil. Soil such as silt would be hard for liquid to pass through it.

Does the Amazon River have dirty water?
The amazon river has dirty water because it has a suspended load. Suspended Load is the rivers sediment that is carried SUSPENDEDLYin the water. This makes the water look muddy.
What is a permeable layer of rock the is saturated with water?
An Aquifer.
Weakness of Rotorua?
The only 'weakness' of Lake Rotorua is possibly that because of its shallow depth the water is very prone to discolouration, especially from sediment following windy weather, making it unpopular with water sports participants and swimmers.
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?
What does sediment transported in a single direction by water or air currents commonly form?
Current ripple marks
What is an underground area of soil sand or rock that is saturated with water called?
Sediment.
When does wind or water carry sediments deposits loads?
Wind or water carrying sediment deposits its load in slow moving or standing water. Sediment typically comes from beaches, erosion, and typical weathering.
What is the formula for calculating percent porosity?
Place Sediment in a cylinder Vt = A=πr^2 of sediment Fill a cylinder with water and weigh = Wm Water mass Add water slowly to sediment until saturated Weigh remaining water = Wmr Water mass remaining Subtract weight of Wm - Wmr =Vv (volume of water added to the sediment) Divide Vv by Vt Multiply by 100 Porosity as a %
What is an earth flow?
Slow- moving downslope movement of water- saturated, clay- rich sediment, most characteristic of humid regions.
What is the best sediment transporting agent?
The best sediment transporting agent is water. This is because water is very powerful and can easily move sediment from one place to another.
Why do sediments settle to the bottom of a lake or sea?
Sediment settles on the bottom of the lake or sea ultimately because it is heavier than water. Sediment begins as dirt or fragments of rock on land. When precipitation (rain) or flooding occurs these fragments are carried along with the water to the nearest stream, river, or other water reserve. The sediment that is carried into a lake or pond then sinks to the bottom of the body of water. The sediment that finds its way into moving water is ultimately emptied into the ocean, or whichever body of standing water the river or stream flows. Once the sediment reaches the stagnant body of water it will sink to the bottom.
Which contains more water saturated 8c air or saturated 18c?
8c because the warmer the air, the more water it can hold
Describe how wind moves different sizes of sediment?
Because of the way the waves in the water move to lift the sediment...
How is the saturated zone related to the water table?
I think it related to water table because saturated means full so the water table might be full?
Is salt mixed with water considered a sediment?
no because in sediment the particles can be filtered but once the salt is mixed. it can't be filtered
Is dead sea saturated dilute or concentrated solution?
The Dead Sea is a saturated solution because it has an excessive amount of salt at its bottom.
Is aerated water saturated?
yes aerated water is saturated .when co2 is passed water becomes saturated
