What else can I help you with?
Part of the earth's crust above water?
The part shown above the water is known commonly as land.
When the water table rises above the surface of the earth it forms a what?
If in an isolated spot, probably a spring, otherwise perhaps a swamp or a mere.Wetland is a preferred term these days to swamp.
Define the following saturation zone unsaturated zone aquifer recharge surface water discharge and remediation?
Its when a Aquifer recharges bc the surface has to much water realeasing the discharge of water.
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
What is the layer of rocks and soil above the water table that are usually not filled with water called?
The layer of rocks and soil above the water table that are usually not filled with water is called the unsaturated zone or vadose zone. This area allows water to percolate down to the groundwater below.
What is the zone above the water table in which water is suspended called?
The zone above the water table where water is suspended is called the unsaturated zone or vadose zone. This zone contains both air and water in the soil or rock pores.
Is a water table a boundary between unsaturated bedrock below and saturated bedrock above?
No, a water table is the boundary between the unsaturated zone (where pore spaces in the soil or rock contain both air and water) and the saturated zone (where all pore spaces are filled with water). It does not specifically separate bedrock layers but marks the transition where the ground is fully saturated with water.
What is the boundary between the unsaturated zone and the saturated zone?
This is known as the phreatic surface or water table.
What is the zone called that lies above the water table?
The zone above the water table is called the unsaturated zone or vadose zone. This area contains both air and water, with the water content decreasing as you move up towards the surface.
What is the upper surface of a zone of saturation?
The upper surface of the zone of saturation is known as the water table. This is the level beneath the Earth's surface where the soil and rock are fully saturated with water. Above the water table lies the unsaturated zone, where both water and air are present in the soil and rock.
What is below the water table?
Below the water table is the saturated zone, where the pores in the rock or soil are filled with water. This is where groundwater is stored and flows, providing water for wells and springs. The unsaturated zone above the water table contains both air and water in the pores.
Which groundwater zone contains mostly pockets of air?
The vadose zone, also known as the unsaturated zone, contains mostly pockets of air. This zone is located above the water table and is where water can percolate through the soil and rock particles.
Are roots part of the unsaturated zone of soil?
Yes, roots are a component of the unsaturated zone of soil where pores contain both water and air. The unsaturated zone is also known as the vadose zone, and it extends from the ground surface to the water table. Roots in this zone absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Is groundwater found in the saturated zone or the unsaturated zone?
Groundwater is found in the saturated zone, which is the region below the water table where all the pore spaces are filled with water. The unsaturated zone is above the water table and contains both air and water in the pore spaces.
The top level of an aquifer is referred to as the .?
water table
Is the ground dry above water table?
Yes it is above the water table.
