Zone of saturation
The layer underground where all empty spaces are filled with a combination of air and water is called the vadose zone or the unsaturated zone. This zone is located above the water table and allows movement of both air and water through it.
Zone of saturation
The correct answer is zone of AERATION and NOT zone of SATURATION :)
The layer underground where there are no empty spaces for water or air is known as the impermeable layer. This layer prevents the movement of fluids such as water or air because it is tightly compacted and does not allow permeation.
The layer underground with no empty spaces for water or air is called the impermeable layer. It acts as a barrier preventing the movement of fluids or gases through it. This layer can consist of materials such as clay, shale, or compacted rock.
Impermeable Rock
The layer you are referring to is called the saturated zone, or the water table. This is where all the empty spaces in the ground (pore spaces in rocks and soil) are filled with water, creating a zone where the rocks or soil are saturated with water.
A layer underground that is impermeable and contains no void spaces for water or air is known as an impermeable layer or aquitard. This layer restricts the flow of water or gases through it due to its low permeability.
Zone of saturation
The impermeable layer is underground where there are no empty spaces for water or air to fill. This layer blocks the movement of water and other fluids, preventing them from passing through. It acts as a barrier between permeable layers above and below it, restricting the flow of substances through the ground.
