What else can I help you with?
Which is the layer underground where there are no empty spaces for a water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock
What is the zone of saturation and where is it?
Region where rock spaces are filled with water:it is below the zone of aeration and the water table
What is the area between the zone of saturation and the zone of aeration what is it called?
The area between the zone of saturation and the zone of aeration is called the capillary fringe. In this zone, water is held in the soil pores by capillary action, and it serves as a transition area where both air and water coexist. Above the capillary fringe lies the zone of aeration, which contains mostly air and some moisture.
What are the three underground zones through which groundwater moves?
there is the zone of saturation in which is the pore space and is completley filled with water. there is also the zone of aeration which is the zone between the earths surface and the aquifers
What boundary is between the zone of aeration and zone of saturation?
The zone of aeration is where there is both air and water within the pore spaces in the ground. In the zone of saturation the pore spaces are totally filled with water. The boundary between these two zones is known as the water table or phreatic surface.
What is the boundary of where the zone of aeration and saturation meet?
The water table.
Is the zone of saturation above the zone of aeration?
No, the zone of saturation is below the zone of aeration in the ground. The zone of saturation is where all spaces between soil particles are filled with water, while the zone of aeration is where there are air pockets between the soil particles.
Is the zone of aeration above the zone of saturation?
Yes, the zone of aeration is located above the zone of saturation. The zone of aeration contains spaces filled with both air and water, whereas the zone of saturation is where all available spaces are filled with water.
What is upper surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
Which is the layer underground where there are no empty spaces for a water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock
What is the boundary between the zone of saturation and zone of aeration?
the answer is the water table.
What three major layers rainwater touch in order to reach an aquifer?
1.surface layer 2.zone of aeration 3.zone of saturation
What divides the Aeration zone and Saturation zone?
The water table acts as the boundary between the aeration zone and saturation zone. Below the water table, the pores are fully saturated with water, while above the water table, there is both air and water in the soil pores.
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 :)
What is the relationship between the zone of saturation the zone of aeration and the water table?
they are all in the location of underwater.
What is an area where waters travels down to become part of an aquifer?
For water to recharge an aquifer, it must pass down through a zone of aeration into the zone of saturation, where the water is stored. The "line" that separates the two zones can be said to be the level of the water table.
What is the name of the top surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
