What is Unsaturated soil that water can infiltrate through is known as the zone of?
Unsaturated soil that water can infiltrate through is known as the zone of aeration. This area contains both air and water, with smaller amounts of water present compared to the zone of saturation.
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 three major layers does rainwater touch in order to reach an aquifer?
The three major layers that rainwater typically encounters as it permeates the ground to reach an aquifer are the topsoil, the unsaturated zone (vadose zone), and the saturated zone where the groundwater lies. Rainwater percolates through these layers, with the depth of the unsaturated zone varying in different locations.
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.
The unsaturated zone above the water table is also known as?
The unsaturated zone is also known as Zone of Aeration.
What is Unsaturated soil that water can infiltrate through is known as the zone of?
Unsaturated soil that water can infiltrate through is known as the zone of aeration. This area contains both air and water, with smaller amounts of water present compared to the zone of saturation.

What is an aeration zone?
An aeration zone is a portion of the lithosphere in which permeable rock is not filled by water under hydrostatic pressure.
What is upper surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
What is the aquifer zone that lies between the water table and earths surface called?
The aquifer zone that lies between the water table and Earth's surface is called the unsaturated zone or vadose zone. This zone contains soil and rock layers where pores are not completely filled with water, allowing for the movement of both water and air.
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.
