Ground water.
Water is stored above the surface in bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. Below the surface, water is stored in groundwater aquifers, which are underground layers of rock or sediment that hold water.
The moisture below the surface is commonly referred to as "subsurface water" or "groundwater." This water resides in soil and rock layers beneath the Earth's surface, filling the spaces or pores in these materials. Groundwater is a crucial component of the hydrological cycle and can influence vegetation, water supply, and ecosystems.
Moisture below the surface is commonly referred to as "subsurface moisture" or "soil moisture." This term describes the water present in the soil layers beneath the surface, which is crucial for plant growth and affects agricultural practices. It is distinct from surface water and can be influenced by factors such as precipitation, irrigation, and soil type.

According to the USGS, the water table in Houston ranges between 10 and 30 feet below the surface. (See link below). An exception is in Katy, where it is more than 75 feet deep. From personal experience, the water table is about 14 feet below my property--about 1/4 mile from Oyster Creek in Sugar Land.
Water molecules can evaporate from the surface of water, where they gain enough energy to overcome surface tension and escape into the air. Below the surface, water molecules can also evaporate through a process known as sublimation, where molecules transition directly from a solid to a gas, although this is less common.
The water that forms far below the surface is called a Deep Current.

Yes, groundwater is the water found beneath the Earth's surface in the pores and spaces of soil, sand, and rock formations. It is a valuable natural resource that is often used for drinking water, agriculture, and industrial purposes.
Due to the anamolous behaviour of water, the surface water being cooled by the external environment falls below 4C and begin to expand. when this surface water molecules expand they rise to the top due to a decrease in density as compared to the water below the surface. the cooler the temperature henceforth, the more the expansion of the surface water molecules till it solidifies to become ice. this surface ice then acts as an insulator and prevents the exchange of heat between the environment the water molecules just below it, thus maintaining the temperature of the water below the surface as constant.
Most of the earths surface is covered with water. There is land under that water though, below the surface.

The integer that represents 8 feet below the surface of the water is -8. In this context, depths below the surface are typically represented as negative values, indicating a position beneath the reference point of the surface. Therefore, 8 feet below corresponds to -8 feet.
No, it would be less due to compression by weight of the surface area water. Every so many feet (meters) down, another "atmosphere" of pressure is exerted. Ergo, water at the seabed would exert more pressure on the pier than the water at the surface.
