What else can I help you with?
Area where the water table meets earths surface and flows out?
runoff
Grounwater is water that that runs along earths surface?
Groundwater is water that collects and flows beneath the Earth'surface, filling spaces in soil, sediment and rocks. The upper surface of groundwater is the water table
Water flows from this when the water table reaches Earth's surface?
Spring
What forms as a result of the water table meeting Earths surface?
a spring
What forms where the water table intersects with the ground surface?
well's occurs when the water underground meets the surface
What is intersection of the water table with the earth's surface from which water flows more or less continuously called?
The intersection of the water table with the Earth's surface, from which water flows continuously, is called a spring. Springs occur when groundwater reaches the surface naturally through a point of discharge.
Where the water table meets the ground surface groundwater bubbles or flows out of cracks in the rock in openings called?
This process is known as a spring. Springs occur where the water table intersects the ground surface, allowing groundwater to flow or bubble out through cracks or openings in the rock. Springs are important sources of freshwater and can vary in size and flow rate depending on local geology and hydrological conditions.
A place where groundwater flows to the surface?
A spring is a place where groundwater naturally flows to the surface of the Earth. This occurs when the water table intersects the land surface, allowing water to emerge as a spring. Springs are crucial sources of freshwater for both natural ecosystems and human communities.
Where does a natural spring occur?
A natural spring occurs where groundwater emerges at the Earth's surface, usually in areas where the water table intersects the land surface. This can happen when underground aquifers are pressurized or when natural fractures in the rock allow water to flow to the surface.
What is the difference between a spring and a well?
A spring is a natural source of water that flows to the surface from an underground aquifer, while a well is a man-made hole drilled or dug into the ground to access groundwater. Springs occur naturally when water from an aquifer flows to the surface, while wells require human intervention to access water.
Hillside springs occur on a hillside where the water table meets what?
Hillside springs occur where the water table intersects with the ground surface, causing water to flow out naturally. This intersection allows groundwater to emerge as a spring due to the pressure exerted by the higher water table on the hillside.
Why doesn't rain sink to the bottom of the earth-?
Rainwater percolates into the ground through the pores in the soil and rocks. It moves downward until it reaches the water table, which is the level below the Earth's surface where the ground becomes saturated with water. The water then flows horizontally along the water table until it meets a barrier like impermeable rock.
