Question

__________ is a rock layer that is permeable to groundwater flow in significant amounts, whereas a/an __________ is a body of rock that does not conduct water in usable amounts. Technically, the zone of saturation is a/an __________, a water-bearing stratum that is not confined by an impermeable overburden. The upper limit of the water that collects in the zone of saturation is called the __________.

Answer 1

aquifer; aquiclude; aquifer; water table

Step-by-step explanation:

An aquifer is a rock layer that is permeable to groundwater flow in significant amounts, whereas an aquiclude is a body of rock that does not conduct water in usable amounts. Technically, the zone of saturation is an aquifer , a water-bearing stratum that is not confined by an impermeable overburden. The upper limit

of the water that collects in the zone of saturation is called the water table.
