Question

What is the region of the soil above the water table called

Aquifer?
Confining Layer?
Zone of Aeration?
Zone of Saturation?

Answer 1

Zone of Aeration?

Step-by-step explanation:

The region of soil above the water table is called the zone of aeration. In this zone, air fills the pore spaces of soil.

• This zone lies between the earth surface and the top of the water table.
• Sometimes, when the water table rises, this zone can also be saturated with water.
• Below the zone of aeration is the zone of saturation where water fills the pore spaces.
• The water table is the boundary between the zone of saturation and zone of aeration.
