What else can I help you with?
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 :)
How does water soak into the ground?
When rain falls, some of the water soaks into the ground. Plants use some of it, but much of the water sinks deeper into the soil. Gravity draws it through rocks that contain small holes or what is s. As it seeps through this porous rock, the water continues on until it reaches a level of total saturation. That level is called a water table.
If water has become saturated will it continue to dissolve salt?
No, but the higher the liquid temperature, the higher the saturation point and the more salt that can be dissolved.
Where is ground water stored?
Well groundwater is in the ground so of course it's found in the ground, it can be found truly almost any were in the world. I couldn't tell you exactley were but it's out there, that's for sure.
How physical processes affect the water supply?
earth's water cycle gives us fresh water. we use this fresh water for our daily consumption. when this water cycle is in danger ,our fresh water source also comes in danger. thus if any disturbances occur in the earth's water cycle ,these disturbances directly or indirectly affect our water supply. for example if an area's water supply depends upon a river's fresh water and if due to acid rain the water of that river gets contaminated then the water supply becomes contaminated and cannot be used.
The water within the zone of saturation is called?
Groundwater
Why must the water supply be protected from pollutants?
For health and welfare of the earth and its inhabitants.
What is it called when the ground can no longer hold water?
When the ground can no longer hold water, it is called saturation. This occurs when the soil is unable to absorb any more water due to saturation and excess water pools on the surface or runs off.
What is the name of the top surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
What is is the upper boundary of the zone of saturation called?
This is known as the phreatic surface or water table.
An opening bored into the zone of saturation?
An opening bored into the zone of saturation allows access to water stored underground. This can serve as a source of water for wells or other extraction methods, providing a reliable supply for human consumption, agriculture, and other uses. It is important to consider the potential impacts on the surrounding hydrological system when accessing water from the zone of saturation.
What is The temperature at which air will reach saturation is called?
The temperature at which air reaches saturation is called the dew point. At the dew point, the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor that it can at that specific temperature before it begins to condense into liquid water.
What is the upper surface of the zone of saturation where all the pores of filled with water called?
The upper surface of the zone of saturation where all the pores are filled with water is called the water table. This is the boundary between the saturated zone below and the unsaturated zone above, where the soil or rock is not fully filled with water.
What is the temperature at which air reaches saturation?
The temperature at which air reaches saturation is called the dew point temperature. At this temperature, the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor it can hold at that specific temperature, leading to condensation or saturation.
When salt can no longer dissolve in water what is this called?
A saturation, or a saturated lliquid, depending on who's asking.
What is an Unhealthy or impure water supply called?
An unhealthy or impure water supply is contaminated.
What is an unhealthy water supply called?
Contaiminated water
