Water found below the Earth's surface is called?

• A. Ground Water
• B. Surface Water
• C. Ocean Water
• D. Water Vapor

Answer: (A)

Groundwater is water found below the Earth's surface. When rain or melted snow seeps down, some of that water fills tiny spaces in soil and rocks. This underground water collects in layers called aquifers and can move slowly through the ground. We access it with wells or springs. This is different from surface water, which sits on the surface in rivers, lakes, and oceans. Water vapor is water in its gaseous form that floats in the air. So the water beneath our feet is groundwater.
