What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
What is the name of the top surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
What is the surface between the zone of aeration and the zone of saturation called?
The Water Table. The term Piezometric, or sometimes Potentiometric, Surface occurs in literature on hydrology but describes an artificial level in a well or borehole, used for measuring the aquifer.
What makes the zone of infiltration and the zone of aeration different?
The zone of infiltration is the area in the ground where water seeps into the soil and moves downward due to gravity, while the zone of aeration is the region above the water table where soil pores contain both air and water. The primary difference is that the zone of infiltration involves the actual movement of water into the ground, whereas the zone of aeration refers to the soil layer above the water table where air and water coexist.

What is upper surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
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.
Which is the layer underground where there are no empty spaces for a water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock
What is the boundary between the zone of saturation and zone of aeration?
the answer is the water table.
What three major layers rainwater touch in order to reach an aquifer?
1.surface layer 2.zone of aeration 3.zone of saturation
Which is the layer underground where all empty spaces are filled with a combination of air and water?
The correct answer is zone of AERATION and NOT zone of SATURATION :)
What is the boundary of where the zone of aeration and saturation meet?
The water table.
What is the relationship between the zone of saturation the zone of aeration and the water table?
they are all in the location of underwater.
What is the name of the top surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
Which way does water move once is passes through the zone of aeration?
Once water passes through the zone of aeration, it typically moves downwards due to gravity, entering the zone of saturation. In the zone of saturation, the spaces between soil particles are filled with water.
