What is the maximum depth a water spill will be on a flat surface?
Any, depending on the volume of water spilt and the area of the flat surface. The specific height is also constrained by the surface tension of the water, the atmospheric pressure above it, and the gravity below it.
What decimal represents the amount of the U.S. surface area taken up by water?
The decimal, for the 50 states and the District of Columbia, it is 0.07, approx.
A man is fishing with his line 15.5227 ft below the surface The water is 56.021 ft deep The tide rises 12.5901 cm How deep is his line now?
The fishing liine will rise with the tide, therefore it will rremain 15.5227 ft below the surface
Is negative 10 greater than negative fifteen?
-10 is 'higher up' on the number line than -15, so it is greater. Think of a thermometer. Which is warmer -10° or -15°. Or suppose you are diving in water. Which is 'higher up' 15 feet below the surface (-15) or 10 feet below the surface (-10).
How do you calculate the volume of a nut?
One method would be with water displacement. Fill a graduated cylinder with a known amount of water. Drop in the nut. Push below surface with wire, or something with negligible volume. Read volume, and subtract.
What integer represents the boiling point of water in degree centigrade?
rewrw
Groundwater is found below the surface in the zone of?
Groundwater is found below the surface in the zone of saturation, where all pores and spaces in the soil or rock are filled with water. This zone lies beneath the water table, which represents the upper surface of the groundwater.
What is the top level of an aquifer referred to?
water table
Can water molecules evaporate at the surface or below the surface?
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.
What is the top surface of the groundwater?
The top surface of groundwater is called the water table. It represents the boundary between the unsaturated zone above, where soil pores contain both air and water, and the saturated zone below, where all pores are filled with water. The water table fluctuates with factors such as precipitation and human activities.
What is a movement of ocean water that forms far below the surface of the ocean called?
The water that forms far below the surface is called a Deep Current.
What 2 ways is water stored above and below the surface?
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.
Ground water exists below the surface of the earth?
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.
What is the large area of Earth's surface covered with?
Most of the earths surface is covered with water. There is land under that water though, below the surface.
Why the surface layer of water in the poles is colder than the layer just below it yet the colder layer floats on top?
The surface layer of water in the poles is colder due to exposure to cold air and ice. This layer becomes denser as it cools, causing it to sink below the less dense, warmer water below. This creates a stable situation where the colder layer remains at the surface.
What represents the flattest part of Earth's surface?
The ocean surface represents the flattest part of Earth's surface since water seeks its own level due to gravity, creating a smooth and relatively uniform surface.
The water in rocks below Earth's surface is called what water?
Ground water
