What happens when the water table is above the surface at various places?
If the water table is higher the the surface of the land, water will seep out of the land surface and form a puddle, pool or lake. The depth of the water body will increase until the water surface is at the same level as the surrounding water table - this is a state of equilibrium. If the water table lowers, so will the water level in the water body, until equilibrium is reached. Water moves slowly into and out of the land surface and follows the movement of the water table in the area. Don't confuse this with storage reservoirs behind dams. These have an artificially high water level and the surrounding water table can be lower than the reservoir.
Why does air flow from water to land during the day?
The sun more quickly heats the surface of the land during the daytime than that of the water. The reason for this is that the surface of the water has a much higher effective heat capacity (amount of temperature change for a given unit of heat imparted) than land. This contrast in surface temperatures causes the air column over land to expand, consequently an upper level pressure gradient to develop (high over land at altitude vs low over the water) and flow at altitude from land to ocean. This movement of air out of the land air column and towards the water air column causes a surface pressure gradient to develop, with a surface level high pressure over water and a surface level low over the land. This gradient drives the daytime "see breeze" flow of surface level air from the water to the land. It's actually part of a cell that develops that can be thought of as a roll laying parallel to the shore, going up over land, out to sea at height, down over the sea, and towards land at the surface.
Shallowest zone of the benthic environment?
The question is slightly incorrectly phrased as the benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers.
Why is water sprayed on road in evening in hot summer?
Either to cool down the road surface - or to keep dust down at ground level.
One ATM equals standard ATMospheric pressure at sea level Choose the correct measure of one ATM?
Atmospheric pressure refers to the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the Earth's atmosphere. The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure at sea level and is equal to 101325 Pascal.
What is the surface-level of a movie?
What is the surface-level subject in a film?
A flat level surface?
A flat, level surface is a plane.
What is a level a tool which shows if an object has an even horizontal surface?
A level is a tool that is placed on a solid surface. There is a string hanging on the level, and if it tilts, the surface isn't an even horizontal surface. If the string doesn't tilt, the surface is even.
4 letter word for flat level surface?
even ? when something is flat and level it is often referred to as an even surface.
What do you use a level for?
A level is used for determining how close to level a surface is.Go figure...
What is a level of the ocean's surface?
I Want to now what the level of the ocean's surface is
The height of the surface of an ocean?
The height of the surface of the ocean is referred to as sea level.
How a Spirit level is used to ensure that a surface is level or perpendicular?
The bubble comes to centre when level.
Is potential energy on the surface of earth is always zero?
That depends on what reference level you have chosen. If the (arbitrary) reference level you chose is Earth's surface, then anything on the Earth's surface has zero potential energy. If you choose some higher reference level, an object on Earth's surface has a negative potential energy. If you choose a lower reference level, an object on Earth's surface would have a positive potential energy.
What is the surface-level of the film Chariots of Fire?
First of all one would have to understand the question!What do you mean by surface-level? Makes no sense.
Do you really need to be on a level surface to check tire pressure?
It is more important for the tires to be cold than for them to be on a level surface. It doesn't matter if they are on a level surface or not. In fact, you can lift the car entirely off the ground and the tire pressure doesn't change.
What is the average level of the oceans's surface as measured along the shoreline?
sea level
