What is the relationship for runoff abstractions and precipitation?
Runoff- Precipitation- Abstractions
Is runoff precipitation?
No, Runoff is when water runs off the ground, IE: if you have a hill, the water will run along it without infiltrating (seeping into the ground), but, precipitation is raining
Which condition most likely exists when precipitation is greater than evapotranspiration and soil water storage is at its maximum?
runoff
What is precipitation that can carry pollutants into acquatic ecosystems?
Runoff
What happens to precipitation that falls on the land?
it becomes runoff.....

Is runoff a form of precipitation?
No
What separates the beginnings of rivers in the rocky mountains?
Higher elevation. Ridges separate rivers, which at their most elemental level are runoff (from springs or precipitation). As patterns of runoff converge, permanent streams form.
What is the stage after evaporation?
Condensation then precipitation and then runoff

What comes after runoff in the water cycle?
After precipitation, rain comes. It reaches the earth's surface.

What factors control precipitation?
slope and runoff i think
What are the water cycle's 6 stages?
Evaporation, Transpiration, Condensation, Precipitation, Subsurface Runoff, and Surface Runoff.
Why does acid precipitation weather rock faster than normal precipitation does?
Acid precipitation weather rocks faster than normal precipitation because acid precipitation has a higher concentration of acid than normal precipitation.
