Comparision between surface water quality and ground water quality?

In short, surface water is more turbid with a higher amount of particulate matter and requires more treatment to make it potable. It is also usually soft water.
Groundwater is usually clear and contains little or no organic contamination as it has naturally filtered through the ground which also makes it harder water. This usually requires filtration and the addition of chlorine to make it potable.

How dies the friction between the ground and molecules in the air affect wind?
The wind at the surface of the ground where the molecules are having friction is moving slower than the wind above the surface.
The friction between the ground and molecules in the air cause the wind to be what?
it will be slower near the surface
What is the difference between the formation of extrusive and igneous rocks?
intrusive:below ground extrusive:at the surface
What is the Difference between the surface and subsurface?
The difference between surface run-off and subsurface run -off is that surface run-off is that when it is precipitation the water goes on the ground like a river and lake. The water that goes on the top of the ground is going to the oceans. The subsurface run-off is that when it is preciptation the water
How does friction between the ground and molecule in the air affect wind near the earths surface?
Wind at the surface is slower than the "winds aloft" The biggest effect is within a few inches of the ground.
