How does runoff effect the rate of erosion?
Runoff can increase the rate of erosion by carrying loose soil particles away from the land. As runoff flows over the surface, it can pick up sediment and transport it to rivers or streams, where it contributes to sedimentation and can cause erosion along river banks. Additionally, runoff can lead to increased water flow and pressure, which can further erode soil and cause damage to the landscape.
What do wind and water do to land?

How has urban development reduced the land's ability to absorb runoff?
accelerated urban development and land disturbance reducing the land's ability to absorb runoff
