According to the Wikipedia article on Water Table as of this writing, the zone of intermittent saturation is a range of depth in which the ground is intermittently saturated with water. In some places, the water table raises in the winter, and falls in the summer. The zone between the winter height and the summer height is the zone of intermittent saturation. Sometimes wet. Sometimes dry.

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?
a. at the top of the zone of saturation
Which is the layer underground where there are no empty spaces for a water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock
Does a zone of saturation form when air fills the pores in rock?
No, a zone of saturation forms when water fills the pires in rocks
Is zone of saturation completely solid?
The zone of saturation would not be completely solid. However, the pore spaces would be filled with water.
An opening bored into the zone of saturation?
A well
Is the zone of saturation above the zone of aeration?
No. THe zone of saturation is below the zone of aeration.
Is the zone of aeration above the zone of saturation?
Yes, the zone of aeration is above the zone of saturation.
What divides the Aeration zone and Saturation zone?
The water table is the very top layer of the zone of saturation, therefore separating it from the zone of aeration.
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?
a. at the top of the zone of saturation
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 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
How are the water table and the zone of saturation related?
The zone of saturation and the water table share two zones of ground water.
Does a zone of saturation form when air fills the pores in rock?
No, a zone of saturation forms when water fills the pires in rocks
Why caverns form in the zone of saturation?
_[]_ (*-) _[]_
Is zone of saturation completely solid?
The zone of saturation would not be completely solid. However, the pore spaces would be filled with water.
What is the boundary between the zone of saturation and zone of aeration?
the answer is the water table.
