Hot Springs
solid surfaces that don't allow water to penetrate, forcing it to run off
a well that reaches a confined aquifer; the water flows due to pressure
where recent volcanic eruptions have occurred, groundwater released as steam from fissures in the ground (geothermal energy source)
filter gradually through a porous surface or substance
water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock
hot springs that intermittently shoot streams of steam and hot water into the air
permeate (something) by filtration
gaps between sediments are filled with both air and water
groundwater heated from beneath the Earth’s surface
gaps between sediments are filled with water
a layer of permeable rock with high porosity that lets water move freely
the level below which the ground is saturated with water
(also known as porous or pervious surfaces) allow water to percolate into the soil to filter out pollutants and recharge the water table
amount of open space in pores between sediments that can hold water or air
