What is the upper surface of water called?
The upper surface of water is called the water's surface or water level. It is the boundary where the water meets the air above it.
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 a seamount and how does it rise above sea level?
A seamount is an underwater mountain that rises from the ocean floor. It can rise above sea level through volcanic activity or tectonic movements, pushing the seamount higher and eventually breaking the surface of the water.
What is the antonym for groundwater?
The antonym for groundwater is surface water, which refers to water that is above ground in rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans.
What would the earth look like if crust above sea level?
If all the crust above sea level were removed, the Earth would essentially resemble a giant ocean planet with no landmasses visible. The entire surface would be covered by water, leading to a vast global ocean.

Land where the water level is near or above the surface of the ground for most of the year?
wetland
What is land where the water level is near or above the surface of the ground most of the year?
wetland
What is the amplitude of water wave?
the amplitude of a water wave is the maximum distance a water particle moves above or below the surface level of calm water.
Does Homeowners insurance cover water damage from sprinklers soaking through walls?
As long as the water entered above the ground surface level.
Why does surface runoff flow towards the ocean?
Because the oceans are at sea level and the rivers are always above sea level, meaning that water flows downhill.
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 percentage of an iceberg is typically visible above the water's surface?
Approximately 10 of an iceberg is typically visible above the water's surface.
Do rattlesnakes swim above or below water?
above the water
What happens when the water table is above the surface at various places?
If the water table is higher the the surface of the land, water will seep out of the land surface and form a puddle, pool or lake. The depth of the water body will increase until the water surface is at the same level as the surrounding water table - this is a state of equilibrium. If the water table lowers, so will the water level in the water body, until equilibrium is reached. Water moves slowly into and out of the land surface and follows the movement of the water table in the area. Don't confuse this with storage reservoirs behind dams. These have an artificially high water level and the surrounding water table can be lower than the reservoir.
Is it bad if the water level goes above your ankles?
You aren't at water level.
How is the damage from an earthquake different from the damage of a hurricane?
The damage from an earthquake can destroy underground electric mains and water pipes as a hurricane only forms above surface and can not destroy nothing under the surface and can only effect above ground level
