What else can I help you with?
Is the zone of saturation above the zone of aeration?
No, the zone of saturation is below the zone of aeration in the ground. The zone of saturation is where all spaces between soil particles are filled with water, while the zone of aeration is where there are air pockets between the soil particles.
Is the zone of aeration above the zone of saturation?
Yes, the zone of aeration is located above the zone of saturation. The zone of aeration contains spaces filled with both air and water, whereas the zone of saturation is where all available spaces are filled with water.
What is upper surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
Which is the layer underground where there are no empty spaces for a water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock
What is the boundary between the zone of saturation and zone of aeration?
the answer is the water table.
What three major layers rainwater touch in order to reach an aquifer?
1.surface layer 2.zone of aeration 3.zone of saturation
What divides the Aeration zone and Saturation zone?
The water table acts as the boundary between the aeration zone and saturation zone. Below the water table, the pores are fully saturated with water, while above the water table, there is both air and water in the soil pores.
What is the area between the zone of saturation and the zone of aeration what is it called?
The area between the zone of saturation and the zone of aeration is called the capillary fringe. In this zone, water is held in the soil pores by capillary action, and it serves as a transition area where both air and water coexist. Above the capillary fringe lies the zone of aeration, which contains mostly air and some moisture.
Why is the zone of aeration sensitive?
h2so4 - hydrogen sulfide is what is being released during the aeration process - poisonous.
What is the aquifer zone that lies between the water table and the surface called?
aeration zone
The unsaturated zone above the water table is also known as?
The unsaturated zone is also known as Zone of Aeration.
What is unsaturated zone and the zone of aeration mean?
The unsaturated zone is the area in the ground where the spaces between soil particles are filled with both air and water. This zone is also known as the vadose zone. The zone of aeration refers specifically to the portion of the unsaturated zone where the soil pores contain both air and water.
