What is underground layer of spongy rock that holds water?
An underground layer of spongy rocks that holds water is an aquifer.
Underground layer of spongy rock that holds water is?
Water table
How is ground water stored?
Groundwater is stored in the tiny open spaces between rock and sand, soil, and gravel. How well loosely arranged rock (such as sand and gravel) holds water depends on the size of the rock particles.
What occurs when a large amount of water mixes with soil and rock?
Mudflow!
Does gravel have more pore space than sand and soil?
yes, The rocks are larger, creating a higher amount of space in between each individual rock.
What is the amount of space rock takes up?
A rock takes up volume of space. To know the amount, the size of the rock would have to be known.
How well rock material holds water?
rock holds water because rock have very tiny molecules and they are so close that water cannot pass through it

Why placing the rock in the water causes the water level to rise?
Becuase the rock takes up space and has volume, it pushes the water out of the way.
The amount of space a rock takes up is it's what?
Volume
What is it the amount of space a rock takes up called?
volume
What is an easy rock experiment?
Fill a graduated cylinder full of water, than drop a rock inside. The amount that the water rises will determine the volume of the rock. Amount of water level increase=volume of rock.
Which rock holds more water shale sandstone or granite?
granite
The amount of space a rock takes up is its....?
displacement ^_^
How does the buoyant force acting on a rock differ in the air or space?
It differs by the amount of buoyancy the rock contains. In the air it is much more heavier. In space, it is much more buoyant. But if let off of the scale in water, it would plainly sink, and if let off the scale in space, it would float away into the universe.
Why when you put piece of stone in a glass full of water an amount of water is spilled out of the glass?
anything with matter takes up space. two objects cannot occupy the same space, I mean it wouldn't be funny if that guy not paying attention just walked through the pole instead of smashing into it right? So, when you drop a rock in the cup, the cup still only has the same amount of space to give up, but now the rock and the water are competing for that space. Well the rock is denser, so it sinks, pushing the water out of the way and causing it to rise. If you want to see this happen where the water wins, try putting a ping pong ball in the glass. You'll notice now its the water that remains in the glass and the ball that is sticking out of the cup.
