What force moves water from high ground to lower ground?
Gravity
What forms when an artesian well begins to push out enough water that gravity causes it to flow to a lower region?
spring
What is the driving force behind glacial movement?
Once the depth of snow and ice reaches more than 30 to 40 meters, gravity begins to pull the glacier down hill.Also as the glacier melts due to pressure if creates melt water which acts as a lubricant.
Does gravity hold water?
If pool/lake/ocean water floats up: then no, gravity does not hold water. If pool/lake/ocean water does not float up: then yes, gravity does hold water.
What are some ways you can observe gravity in action to the natural world?
- a leaf flutters down from a tree to the ground - a tree dies and falls over - a stream runs down hill - glaciers slither down hill - a bird descends gracefully to the ground when it stops flapping - an animal stands motionless on the ground, and does not float away - when rain or snow leave the cloud, they proceed to the ground - when rain wears away soil, rocks roll down hill - gravity drives convection; warm air and water rise; cool air and water sink - gravity drives buoyancy; ice, leaves, and bloated deceased fish float - gravity creates orbits; the planets and the moon have orbits and stay in them
What force moves water from high ground to lower ground?
Gravity
What force draws water downward through the ground?
gravity....
What force the water drops to fall toward the ground?
Gravity.
When snow begins to melt what does it turn in to?
water...and then disolves into the ground
Why does water spill out of a tub when filled?
because you filled it to the top and due to gravity and water being a liquid water does not keep its shape and is push by gravity to the ground
What controls the rate of movement of ground water?
Gravity (slope) and resistance.
When pore spaces in the ground are holding as much water as they possibly can the ground is?
what happens to the ground is it is stripped of its oxygen levels and the water begins to overflow and run off
Does a water table require gravity for its formation?
A water table is formed by water taking the path of least resistance, deep into the ground. Gravity is the force that makes water take that path.
Why does the water flows towards the ground as soon as you open a tap?
Due to gravity
How do you think over-pumping ground water is related to the formation of sinkholes?
because you are taking out air or gravity out of the ground so there is more gravity in the ground so the dirt will just go down through the earth

What force acts against capillary action as water moves through the ground?
Gravity
