What stores groundwater and allows the flow of the groundwater?
Porosity and permeability of rocks and soil determine how much water can be stored and how easily it can flow through groundwater. Rocks like sandstone and limestone with high porosity and permeability are good at storing and allowing the movement of groundwater. Conversely, impermeable rocks like clay or granite store less water and restrict the flow of groundwater.
Does groundwater flowing into the ocean involve water vapor?
No, groundwater flowing into the ocean does not involve water vapor. Groundwater typically consists of liquid water that infiltrates into the ground from precipitation or other sources and eventually flows into the ocean through underground channels or discharge areas.
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.
How is groundwater connected to surface water?
Groundwater is connected to surface water through a process called groundwater-surface water interaction. This occurs when groundwater discharges into surface water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, providing a source of water and nutrients. Conversely, surface water can also recharge groundwater systems through infiltration and percolation. This interaction is important for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health.
Water that fills spaces in rock and sediments is called?
groundwater
Is ground water polluted?
It very much depends on the area; some groundwater is polluted but other groundwater is pure.
Does the wells get water from the groundwater or from surface water?
The groundwater gets the water
Does the well get water from the groundwater or surface water?
The groundwater gets the water
How many cubic kilometers of water reside in groundwater?
Depends on how much ground you are talking about and where.

Water that collects in permeable rock beneath the surface of earth is called?
Water in rocks (or other porous material) below the ground is called ground water.

What is the connection between groundwater and water table?
both the water table and the groundwater is at the top of the aquifer
Water stored in layers of soil and rock beneath earths surface is called?
No, it is called ground water.

What is the term for water that seeps under the surface of the earth?
Groundwater.
