What is is the upper boundary of the zone of saturation called?
This is known as the phreatic surface or water table.
Which is the layer underground where there are no empty spaces for a water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock
Where is the water table located 1 at the top of the zone saturation 2 under the zone of saturation 3 in the layer of bedrock 4 below the layer of bedrock?
a. at the top of the zone of saturation
Does a zone of saturation form when air fills the pores in rock?
No, a zone of saturation forms when water fills the pires in rocks
Is zone of saturation completely solid?
The zone of saturation would not be completely solid. However, the pore spaces would be filled with water.
What is upper surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
What is is the upper boundary of the zone of saturation called?
This is known as the phreatic surface or water table.
Which is the layer underground where there are no empty spaces for a water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock
The water within the zone of saturation is called?
Groundwater
Is the zone of saturation above the zone of aeration?
No. THe zone of saturation is below the zone of aeration.
Is the zone of aeration above the zone of saturation?
Yes, the zone of aeration is above the zone of saturation.
What is and area of ground water collected in a layer or rock or soil?
Ground Water, which seeps into the soil and fills the cracks unerground.
Is the aquifer and the zone of saturation the same thing?
Yes, the saturated zone underground is called the aquifer.
What are the two boundaries of the intertidel zone?
The limit of the highest tide is the upper limit of the tidal zone, and the lowest of the low tides is the lower bound.
What divides the Aeration zone and Saturation zone?
The water table is the very top layer of the zone of saturation, therefore separating it from the zone of aeration.
Where is the water table located 1 at the top of the zone saturation 2 under the zone of saturation 3 in the layer of bedrock 4 below the layer of bedrock?
a. at the top of the zone of saturation
Which is the layer underground where all empty spaces are filled with a combination of air and water?
The correct answer is zone of AERATION and NOT zone of SATURATION :)
