There is a 4" hole for the inlet near the top of every properly made septic tank. You connect the drain to this by gluing if it's a plastic pipe or by a 'Robar' joint if it's a cast iron pipe.

What is the purpose of the Septic tank vent?
Any empty tank is really a tank full of air. If you want water to go into a tank or pipe or drain then you have to allow the air to escape out of it. We allow the air to escape through a "vent pipe," connected to the tank. When refering to septic tanks, this pipe is called a "septic tank vent." Unless we use a zeocarbon filter on the "septic tank vent", the vile air coming out smells like a combination of rotten eggs and ammonia. Some septic tanks are upgraded to include aeration systems where electric or solar powered aerators bubble air into the liquid in the septic tank. Although these systems treat water faster and produce cleaner treated wastewater you still need a "septic tank vent," to let the air escape from the tank so water can go into it.
How deep can a septic tank be. Is it ok to put gravel on top, or dirt Will it hurt the drain field?
Septic tanks may be installed at any depth in the soil. The main factors that determine the depth of the tank are sewer line depth, and the site conditions.

How does a septic tank look?
A septic tank and its accompanying drain field are both several feet underground, and so from ground level they do not "look" like anything at all. Sometimes grass is more green over a septic tank, but this is not necessarily so. Even a septic tank specialist cannot locate your tank by looking. They would need to use a special probe or a line detector.
How do you unclog a vent pipe on a septic and well?

Can you shower with a broken septic tank?
Broken how? As long as the drain is still connected to the tank the water will go into it. Where it goes after that depends on where and how it is broken.
