What is surface runoff groundwater?
A runoff is precipitatoin soaks into the ground, precipitation can also run over the ground and flow into streams, rivers, lakes, and eventually the ocean.
What are two major source of oil pollution in the ocean?
Two major sources of oil pollution in the ocean are oil spills and oil runoff from land-based sources. Oil spills occur when oil is released into the ocean from accidents or leaks during transportation, drilling, or storage. Oil runoff refers to the pollution caused by oil and petroleum products that are washed off from land surfaces into rivers and eventually reach the ocean through runoff.
What happens to the phosphorus that is carried by runoff to the ocean?
Much of this phosphate then concentrates in marine sediment. Some of the phosphate is eventually incorporated into the bodies of marine animals such as fish.

How does runoff help the environment?
Runoff is a part of the water cycle. Surface runoff helps the environment by recycling water into the ocean that it may begin the cycle again. However, lately we have been getting acidic rain due to poisons, pesticides, and fertilizers. The runoff takes these pollutants and carries them to the ocean where it kills fish and causes mass reproduction of algae. It is then evaporated into the clouds where it eventually falls back to the earth harming many species of plants and animals.
What does runoff include?
Water also reaches the ocean as runoff from the surface. Runoff includes flow from rivers as well as melting snowfields and glaciers.
The most oil pollution to the ocean?
Runoff from land.
What effect does the ocean not have on the land?
Collecting salt from runoff water
Does the water cycle affect the ocean?
the ocean becomes saltier (evaporation) or less salty (precipitation/runoff)
How can runoff on a mountain end up in the ocean?
the snow falls off the mountain and falls onto the ocean
