Bed rock is the layer of rock through which ground water cannot flow.
When groundwater reaches a layer of rock it cannot pass through, it accumulates above the impermeable layer, creating a water table. This can lead to the formation of a perched water table, causing localized saturation above the impermeable layer. If the water cannot escape through another pathway, it may flow laterally along the top of the impermeable layer.
The impermeable layer is underground where there are no empty spaces for water or air to fill. This layer blocks the movement of water and other fluids, preventing them from passing through. It acts as a barrier between permeable layers above and below it, restricting the flow of substances through the ground.
When water is poured on the ground, air trapped in the soil may be released. As the water flows through the ground, it displaces air pockets, causing bubbles to rise to the surface. This effect is commonly seen in saturated or compacted soil.
no because water stops seeping into the ground when the earth is saturated.
Groundwater primarily comes from precipitation that soaks into the ground, moving through soil and rock layers until it reaches an impermeable layer where it collects. It can also originate from surface water bodies like lakes and rivers that seep into the ground. Once stored underground, it can be pumped out for drinking water and other purposes.

It is a layer that cannot be penetrated. Typically it refers to penetration by water, though it may sometimes refer to air. If water cannot permeate through a layer, that layer is impermeable.
This is known as an aquifer.
This is an aquifer.
Water in a spring usually comes from precipitation that falls on the ground and then percolates deep into the ground until it reaches an impermeable layer. The water is then forced back to the surface through the pressure created by the impermeable layer, forming a spring.
When water reaches an impermeable layer, such as a layer of rock or clay, it cannot pass through or be absorbed by the layer. This can lead to the water pooling on top of the impermeable layer, causing waterlogging or the formation of a water table. It can also lead to the creation of wetlands or lakes in certain circumstances.
