Student B is correct. If both rocks were the same, then there will not be a water table in that area. The yellow rock could be one with few pore spaces, thus allowing water to seep through it vertically. Meanwhile, the green rock has more and bigger pores, thus its capability to retain the water and not allowing most of it to seep through. The water then flows horizontally.
Watch the video at the time 1min, 10 seconds. You'll see that the water table rises up as it rains more. In other words, some material that used to be yellow turns green. If the yellow rock and green rock were different, how could it switch?
That's a great question -- water always eventually settles down to the same level, but it doesn't happen instantly in the Earth. In my video for Part 1, I talk about two cups connected by a tube and how the water level will always level out to be the same height (like the flat water in a lake). In the Earth, the 'tube' is actually rock/soil with tiny holes between grains. That gauntlet slows the water down compared to an empty tube, so if you add more water to one side before the original water has flowed away, you can build up a sloped water table.
Good job!
thank you
can you make a videos about open channel flow

Perfectly explained.
Sir plz can you make a video about how to save ground water ?
it is nice video which is info about water table and groundwater
Water level is always same then how in your dimension it's in Slope

Would that b fracking? Lukn 4 the water table without destroying it
