ground water is formed by the percolation action of the soil where the water seeps through the porous top soil until it settles upon the surface of the bed rock which is nonporous in many cases. this collection of the percolating water causes ground water

What is water that soaks into the ground called?
The water that soaks in ground called as ground water .
Why do be people sprinkle water on the roof or open ground?
When people sprinkle water on hot and dry roof on a sunny day, that water evaporates by taking energy from the ground, roof and surroundings. The evaporation of water causes a cooling effect because the large latent heat of vaporization of water helps to cool the hot surface.
Some water soaks into the ground as?
Some water soaks into to the ground as runoff. This runoff can then become part of the local water table.
What is water trapped under ground called?
They are called groundwater. Far as I know, there is no specific name separating ground water in shallow water table and the ground water in confined aquifer. So you might have to called by the full description "groundwater in confined aquifer layer". Aquifer is the specifics name for porous rock and earth media in the question.
How does water soak into the ground?
When rain falls, some of the water soaks into the ground. Plants use some of it, but much of the water sinks deeper into the soil. Gravity draws it through rocks that contain small holes or what is s. As it seeps through this porous rock, the water continues on until it reaches a level of total saturation. That level is called a water table.
What are causes for tsunamis?
What causes the tsunami is an earthquake under ground and it blows the water to land
What causes hole in the ground caused by underground water?
a hole
Why do your hot water fausets make noise in the winter?
Frozen ground and the ground expands and shifts which causes movement
What are the major causes of ground water pollution in tropical regions?
Causes for ground water pollution are: *Improper on-site disposal of wastewater from domestic holds as well as from industries *Over extraction of ground water in coastal areas causing intrusion of sea water into ground water acquifer *Removal of top soil for construction activities, quarrying of minerals, etc. *Paving ground surfaces preventing rain water to percolate into ground water acquifer and thereby prevention of dilution of pollution in ground water *Improper sealing of wastewater treatment plants without properly determining the permeability of soil strata
What is the process that causes ground water erosion?
The process is called chemical weathering.
What are the causes of high water temperature?
Shallow water Waters that runs off in hot ground and water that are used in factories
What causes water to be pushed up through an artisan well?
pressure of the ground strata around the water pocket
What causes sulfur in well water?
There is sulphur in the ground, but sulphur smelling water usually contains a lot of iron
What is groundwater depletion?
Ground water depletion is when all the ground water is pumped out of an aquifer and no more groundwater is left. This causes the water table to sink and lakes and rivers to sink as well. USE WATER RESPONSIBLY.
What causes the fracture of the ground?
Earthquake causes fracture of the ground.
How does running water causes erosion on the earth surface?
It tears earth from the ground and carries it which ever way water flows
How does under water earthquake affect the ocean water?
It causes the ground at the ocean floor to shift, resulting in the displacement of water. The beginnings of a potential tsunami!
