The surface bedrock under Watertown, New York, primarily consists of the Potsdam Sandstone, which formed approximately 500 million years ago during the Cambrian period. This geological formation is part of the larger Appalachian Mountain range's history and consists of ancient marine sediments that were transformed into rock over millions of years.

What is an platform?
An abrasion platform is a sloping or flat bedrock surface extending out from the foot of a marine cliff under shallow water of a breaker zone, created by marine abrasion.

Which factor has the greatest influence on the weathering rate of Earth's surface bedrock?
The presence of water is the factor with the greatest influence on the weathering rate of Earth's surface bedrock. Water can seep into cracks in the bedrock, freeze, expand, and cause physical weathering. It also participates in chemical weathering processes that break down the minerals in the bedrock.
What is a bedrock well?
A bedrock well is a type of water well that is drilled into solid bedrock in order to access groundwater for drinking water. This type of well is typically deeper and more expensive to construct than a shallow well that is dug into soil or sandy materials. Bedrock wells can provide a reliable source of clean water in regions where surface water may be contaminated or unreliable.
Where is the water table located 1 at the top of the zone saturation 2 under the zone of saturation 3 in the layer of bedrock 4 below the layer of bedrock?
The water table is located at the top of the zone of saturation, where soil and rock are completely saturated with water. It is not generally found under the zone of saturation. The water table is typically above the layer of bedrock. It is usually located above the layer of bedrock, not below it.
What is the most common arrangement of zones in a water table?
surface aeratedzone saturated zone bedrock r
What is the relationship between surface water groundwater and a watershed?
i think that when the water reaches the surface, it dissolves into the ground which is called infiltration (the movement of water through soil) which then flows down from the tiny spaces in the bedrock and then it forms into a ground water, which is then released into and ocean or a lake.
What movement is shown by the arrows under earth surface?
the water cycle shows arrow under surface
What causes bedrock to appear scraped and polished?
Bedrock appears scraped and polished due to the abrasive action of moving glaciers or flowing water. These agents erode the surface of the bedrock, smoothing and polishing it over time. The rocks and sediments carried by glaciers or rivers act as tools that grind away at the bedrock, creating the polished appearance.
Which is the layer underground where the are no empty spaces for water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock
Do female mosquitoes lay their eggs under the surface of the water?
No, they lay them on the surface of the water.
Is aquifer found below or above bedrock?
Aquifers are typically found below the bedrock. Bedrock acts as a barrier that holds the water in the aquifer, with layers of soil, sand, and gravel above the bedrock helping to recharge the aquifer with water.
