What is the line between the zones of aeration and saturation?

Answer 1

In reference to water saturation can mean a few things. It could mean the dew point of the atmosphere at which it can no longer hold any more moisture. It could mean that the water holds the maximum amount of thermal energy before boiling. It could also mean that so much of a solute is dissolved in the water and at its current temperature cannot hold any more solute.Saturation is the point at which a material cannot absorb any more of something else. When a piece of cloth is saturated with water, it can hold no more water. When you are trying to dissolve something in water, such as salt, the water is saturated when no more salt can go into solution.

Answer 2

When air becomes saturated with moisture it wants to precipitate, that is condense and fall. If the air is not saturated there will be little force to cause precipitation. High moisture levels in the atmosphere cause collection on any available surface, like the dew mentioned below. Up in the sky there are few surfaces except tiny particles of dust, mold, and microbes. These have a snowball effect - first a little moisture sticks, to a particle, then more and more and eventually a raindrop forms and falls. If the temperature is cold enough, it may turn into hail.

Temperature is another factor as warmer air can hold more moisture. When the temperature falls, at some point it can no longer hold as much moisture as it is currently holding has so it condenses as dew. This temperature is called the dew point. This effect is commonly seen in the morning when lower nighttime temperatures have dipped below the dew point resulting in dew (from atmospheric moisture) on plants, cars, and other surfaces. This is condensation, not precipitation.

Answer 3

No.

The zone of aeration is where there is both air and water within the pore spaces in the ground. In the zone of saturation the pore spaces are totally filled with water. The boundary between these two zones is known as the water table or phreatic surface.

Answer 4

The line between the zones of aeration and saturation is known as the water table. Above the water table is the zone of aeration, where soil and rock pores contain both air and water. Below the water table is the saturated zone, where all pores are filled with water.

Answer 5

The zone of saturation and the water table share two zones of ground water.
