What is a hole dug below the water table that water seeps into?
well
------
Aquifer
------
What is an underground layer of rock or soil filled with water called?
------

Aquifer
------
What is the top of the water-filled spaces in the ground called? (hint: it shows what the water level is in the aquifer)
------
Reservoir
Water Table
------
An aquifer is a(n)
------
underground layer of rock or sediment that holds water
type of hot spring from which the water periodically erupts
------
What is the water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers called?

Groundwater
------
precipitation
------
Because they have large connected pores, materials such as sand and gravel allow water to pass through.  This is known as

permeable
impermeable

Surface water
Water table
------
------
When water goes from liquid at Earth's surface to vapor in Earth's atmosphere, that is called
evaporation
-----
precipitation
-----
When water vapor turns to liquid, clinging to either dust particles or cold surfaces, that is
-----
transpiration
condensation

cause soil erosion
-----
pollute groundwater.

How does subsidence affect the land?
-----
It causes sinking due to large amounts of ground water being removed
It can result in desertification

-----
-----
Clay
Gravel
How does the replacement of large areas with concrete and asphalt affect the land?
-----
-----
It increases the amount of groundwater in porous rock because it is impermeable
It increases erosion of sediments by increasing runoff because it is impermeable
