Groundwater
What else can I help you with?
What is and area of ground water collected in a layer or rock or soil?
Ground Water, which seeps into the soil and fills the cracks unerground.
Is the water table part of the zone of saturation?
im pretty sure... :) srry i had the same question
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.
What three major layers rainwater touch in order to reach an aquifer?
1.surface layer 2.zone of aeration 3.zone of saturation
Groundwater is found below the surface in the zone of .?
saturation
What is the water within the zone of saturation?
Groundwater
What is the name of the top surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
What is the area immediately below the water table?
The area immediately below the water table is called the zone of saturation. This zone is where spaces between soil and rock particles are filled with water. Groundwater is found in this zone and can be extracted through wells.
Which is the layer underground where there are no empty spaces for a water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock
What is the upper surface of the zone of saturation where all the pores of filled with water called?
The upper surface of the zone of saturation where all the pores are filled with water is called the water table. This is the boundary between the saturated zone below and the unsaturated zone above, where the soil or rock is not fully filled with water.
How are the water table and the zone of saturation related?
The zone of saturation and the water table share two zones of ground water.
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 is is the upper boundary of the zone of saturation called?
This is known as the phreatic surface or water table.
What is the area between the zone of saturation and the zone of aeration what is it called?
The area between the zone of saturation and the zone of aeration is called the capillary fringe. In this zone, water is held in the soil pores by capillary action, and it serves as a transition area where both air and water coexist. Above the capillary fringe lies the zone of aeration, which contains mostly air and some moisture.
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.
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.
Does a zone of saturation form when air fills the pores in rock?
No, a zone of saturation forms when water fills the pires in rocks
