What is an aquifer called that is connected to the surface by open pore spaces through which water can flow?
An aquifer that is connected to the surface by open pore spaces through which water can flow is called an unconfined aquifer. In this type of aquifer, the water table is exposed to the atmosphere, allowing for direct recharge from precipitation and surface water. Because of the direct connection, unconfined aquifers are more susceptible to contamination and fluctuations in water levels.
What else can I help you with?
What is the upper surface of saturated aquifer called?
The top level of groundwater in an aquifer is called the water table.
How does an aquifer works?
Aquifer recharge occurs when surface water permeates through the pervious layers of soil to an impervious layer below the surface soil layers. This impervious layer may be clay or stone. Alternately the water may gain access to the aquifer when the bottom of a river of lake is connected to a porous zone which is either an aquifer or connects to an aquifer. These points of access to the quaifer are called recharge zones. Aquifers often low downwards along the gradient of the impervious zone and may, at some point, pass below other impervious zones and become unaffected by other water additions from the surface. Aquifers which do not flow are called perched and can dry up if water is removed from them and they have no source of recharge.
What is the aquifer layer in which all pores are filled with water is the?
The aquifer layer in which all pores are filled with water is called a saturated aquifer. This means that the water table is at or near the surface and the aquifer is fully saturated with water.
What is an area of land through which water percolates to be stored as groundwater called?
Is surface water
What is the pressure of rock layers pressing on an aquifer from above and below squeezes water up earths earths surface called?
The pressure exerted by rock layers above and below an aquifer that forces water to rise to the Earth's surface is called "hydrostatic pressure." This pressure is a result of the weight of the overlying rock and water, which can lead to artesian flow if the aquifer is confined. In such cases, water can rise spontaneously to the surface through wells or natural springs without the need for pumping.
What is the area where water from the surface can move through permeable rock to reach an aquifer is called?
thanks for nothing
What is the point on earths surface where water enters an aquifer?
The point on Earth's surface where water enters an aquifer is called a recharge zone. This is typically an area where water can percolate through the soil and infiltrate the aquifer layer beneath. Recharge zones are important for replenishing groundwater supplies.
What is the upper surface of saturated aquifer called?
The top level of groundwater in an aquifer is called the water table.
A body of porous rock through which groundwater moves is called an?
an aquifer
What are rocks with connected pores called?
sorry about spelling - porous rocks
When the pressure of rock layers pressing on an aquifer from water up to the earths surface what is it called?
When the pressure of rock layers pushes water from an aquifer up to the Earth's surface, it is called artesian flow. This natural process occurs when there is enough pressure in the aquifer to force the water upward through a well or borehole without the need for a pump.

What process leads to water entering an aquifer?
Percolation leads to water entering an aquifer.
What is the difference between a confined aquifer and unconfined aquifer?
Confined acquifer:An aquifer which is sandwiched between two layers of less permeavle material is called confined aquifer.Unconfined acquifer:Aquifers having water table in it is called unconfined aquifer.
