Does the water table tends to parallel the topography of the land?

No. The water table maintains its own equilibrium, be it parallel to the surface or not. Because if it is so, you would not find different water tables at different locations in a particular piece of land.

Which sugar is less soluble in water?
Sugars with increasing carbon units tends to be less soluble in water like polysaccharides.
The water that seeps out where the water table meets an eroding hillside?
A spring
What is the top of an aquifer referred to as?
water table
How are the contours of the water table different from normal contour lines?
The contours of the water table lines are the same as the contours of other topographical lines. The only indication of water tables might be elevation lines but they are not unique to water tables.
Can water be used faster than precipitation?
Yes and it causes the water table to fall.
Is a water table fixed in position?
No. The water table (groundwater surface) is a location of varying depth depending on the topography and the location of aquifers and their associated permeable layers. There can be multiple water tables.
How does the counter of a shallow water table compare with the local topography?
Topography is important because it helps explain the movement of ground and shallow water. Shallow water flow does not take place from the right to the left side of the central hill or from the right to the left side of a stream.
Describe how the contour of a shallow water table compares with the local topography?
Topography has much to do with the movement of both surface and ground water. Shallow ground water flow does not take place from the right to the left side of the central hill, nor from the right side of the stream to the left side.
What are three types of topography on earth's surface?
There are two general groups of topography: land and water. Land topography includes, but is not limited to, hills, valleys, and mountains. Water topography consists solely of water.
What is the topography of land and water in your community?
no
What is subsurface topography?
Underwater topography is typically referred to as Bathymetry.
What is the relationship between a water table and a well?
If you want to get water out of your well, you need to drill down below the water table in able to pump it out. That should be kind of obvious. The only other neat point that you make is that if the topography dips below the natural water table, then the water in the aquifer (the rock holding the water) will be exposed at the surface. This is called an artesian well, and this is what makes the famous desert oasis happen.
What causes Karst topography?
Karst topography results from the dissolution of limestone or other water soluble rock.
The topography of an area includes the areas what?
The area of topography include mountains, valleys, plains, and bodies of water.
What can moving water change?
environment and topography
What are the important environmental factors?
water topography vegetation
What are the three important environmental factors?
water topography vegetation
