Water that fills spaces in rock and sediments is called?
groundwater
Groundwater is stored in and moves slowly through permeable rock called aquifers . in what zone is groundwater located?
Groundwater that is not otherwise fossil groundwater forms part of the "water table".
How does rock fragments turn into rock?
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
What is the process of pressing sediments called?
The process of pressing sediments is called compaction. The process that results in the layers being stuck together is called cementation.
What is soil and rock that allows water to pass through it called?
permeable rocks
What permeable rock layers or sediments that transmit groundwater freely are called .?
An aquifer transmits ground water freely.
What are permeable and porous rock layers thet can hold and transmit groundwater?
This type of layer is found within the earth and is called an Aquifer.
Water that fills spaces in rock and sediments is called?
groundwater
An underground layer of permeable material that contains groundwater is called?
aquifer

Groundwater that is not otherwise fossil groundwater forms part of the "water table".
An underground layer of permeable material that contains groundwater is called aan?
It is called an aquifer.
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.
How does rock fragments turn into rock?
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
What is it when Water within a porous and permeable sedimentary rock layer that is bounded only below by a non-permeable sedimentary rock layer is called?
The permeable rock bearing the groundwater is an aquifer. If the impermeable rock layer at it's base (known as an aquiclude) is of limited lateral extent such that the groundwater level away from this area is much lower, then it may be known as a perched water table. Please see the related link for more information.
Where did sedimentany rock come from?
Sediments (sand, clay, boulders etc) are derived from the erosion of preexisting rocks by snow, ice, water and wind. Eventually these sediments settle and are covered by more sediments. As the weight of overlying sediments builds up the pressure and minerals dissolved in and carried by groundwater cement the sediment particles together to form a new rock layer. This new rock is called a sedimentary rock.
Water stored in layers of soil and rock beneath earths surface is called?
No, it is called ground water.
What is top level of groundwater in an aquifer called?
The top level of groundwater in an aquifer is called the water table.
