Ground water is formed when water fully saturates pores/cracks in the soil filling the ground with water and creating a mass of water underground. The main minerals in groundwater are sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, and sulfate.

Can ground water erosion result in the formation of stalactite and stalagmite?
yes it can be formed
When it rains why is there a lot of mud formed?
Because there is dirt on the ground and when dirt and water are mixed it turns into mud.
Describe two environments in which minerals form and list a mineral that is formed in each environment?
1. A mineral can be formed through evaporating salt water which is when salt water evaporates. you can do this at home with a bottle and mix salt and water together and see what happens when it dries up. Examples: Gypsum and Halite 2. A mineral can also be formed through hot water solutions which is when ground water works its way down and is boiled by ground magma. Examples are Gold, copper sulfur pyrite and galena.
How were swamps made?
Swamps are low-lying areas of uncultivated ground near larger bodies of water. They are formed due to the accumulation of water and poor drainage system.
What types of rocks are formed above ground?
Extrusive igneous rocks and some sedimentary rocks are formed above ground.
How ground water formed?
When water percolates down through the soil.
What is formed when water vapor near the ground changes into ice?
Air frost - or ground frost
How are natural springs formed?
when there is a crack in the ground ,the ground exerts pressure and makes the water squirt from the ground forming a spring.
What is the Source of earths water under the surface?
To the best of my knowledge, the water under the surface was formed when the oceans were formed, or thereafter. In simple terms, cracks in the ground allows water to leak below ground into large open voids.
Which refers to water droplets formed at ground level?
either dew or fog
Can ground water erosion result in the formation of stalactite and stalagmite?
yes it can be formed
How are stalagmites formed?
condensation from the ceiling drops water onto the ground and over the years it drops more and more water and the water dries and the minerals in it build up until it rises out of the ground .... stalagmites are rare as they come from the ground ... normally you find stalactites
What is formed when carbon acid in ground water seeps through limestone?
i dint know.
What are two land forms formed by ground water erosion?
4 land forms
What causes ground water?
ground water is formed by the percolation action of the soil where the water seeps through the porous top soil until it settles upon the surface of the bed rock which is nonporous in many cases. this collection of the percolating water causes ground water
What do you call caves made by water?
Karst caves, and it is the majority of caves; formed by acidic ground-water dissolving the limestone.
What forms where the water table intersects with the ground surface?
well's occurs when the water underground meets the surface
