There are tubes and cracks in mountians and when the geometry of these tubes is such that the opening on the lower end is larger then the opening on the top, water can travel uphill. (herons fountian) These tubes are packed with rock dust and other sediment, which add surface area to the pipe cleaning the water, like a natural britta filter. The waters comes from the rivers below or even underground rivers. We call them springs because the water is returning to its birth, and spring means rebirth..even metal springs return to their birth!! These are the underground opposites of tributaries that ensure water stays fresh by circulation..they are the pump and filter in your fish tank!

What are the ingredients in hinckley spring water?

Hinckley Spring Water contains just one ingredient: natural spring water sourced from the White Mountains of New Hampshire.


Where does water in a spring come from?

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.


Is still water the same as spring water?

Well honey, technically speaking, still water and spring water are both forms of natural water that haven't been carbonated or had anything added to them. But let's be real, spring water comes from a natural source like a spring or underground aquifer, while still water can come from various sources and be processed in different ways. So, in short, they're not exactly the same, but they're both still just water at the end of the day.


How does the ability of water to change form from solid to liquid to gas contribute to the water cycle?

Solid water (snow) falls on the mountains in the winter. When spring comes, the solid water melts into liquid water, flows downhill to a stream, then into a river, and then into an ocean. The Sun warms the surface of the ocean, evaporating the liquid water into gaseous water vapor. The water vapor rises into the sky and forms clouds, which are blown into the mountains where the clouds cool, and form solid water (snow), which falls in the mountains in the winter.


How do snow storms form in the Appalachian Mountains or the Rocky Mountains Where do these storms get their moisture?

Snow storms in the Appalachian Mountains and the Rocky Mountains form when moist air is forced to rise over the mountains, leading to cooling and condensation of water vapor into snow. The moisture for these storms can come from nearby bodies of water, such as the Atlantic Ocean for the Appalachian Mountains and the Pacific Ocean for the Rocky Mountains.
