Some water will be absorbed through the soil surface is called?
Water that is absorbed through the soil surface is called seepage. This is water that soaks into the ground, usually in a low spot of the area.
Why do you expect seepage of water into the ground to be less in big cities?
Pavements. Streets, sidewalks, buildings.
Why is water so easily polluted?
Water is so easily polluted because of ground seepage. Water that is not needed in the ground will runoff into streams. If the ground has chemicals that would harm the stream or lake, the water is then polluted.
What is seepage pressure?
If fluid pressures in a soil deposit are uniformly increasing with depth according to then hydrostatic conditions will prevail and the fluids will not be flowing through the soil. is the depth below the water table. However, if the water table is sloping or there is a perched water table as indicated in the accompanying sketch, then seepage will occur. For steady state seepage, the seepage velocities are not varying with time. If the water tables are changing levels with time, or if the soil is in the process of consolidation, then steady state conditions do not apply.
What does seepage mean?
If water is coming into your hose through the outside wall it is said to be 'seeping' in - you have a water 'seepage'. The term can be used for any fluid not just water.

Why do puddles dry up even on cold days?
The water soaks into the ground for the most part. Some of the water also turns to vapor, even in low temperatures. These are called seepage and evaporation.

Groundwater storage. Large amounts of water are stored in the ground. The water is still moving possibly very slowly and it is still part of the water cycle. Most of the water in the ground comes from?
Seepage from precipitation.

How do pesticides contaminate groundwater?
Pesticides can reach water-bearing aquifers below ground from applications onto crop fields, seepage of contaminated surface water
What do you call oil that bubbles up from the ground?
Oil seepage..
