Runoff can affect the environment because it can pick up chemicals on the ground such as gas, oil, etc. When it goes into the water, our water is contaminated, and then it goes in our water cycle and causes acid rain Example: I spilled gas on the ground it will enter our water cycle then go into streams, rivers, etc. Then it goes into our water cycle agin.
Hope I helped you
Runoff from farms can affect ponds and streams when the pollution from animal waste gets into the pond or stream, can cause Algae, and its a Non-Point source of pollution. You cannot tell specifically where it came from.
I wouldn't say rain harms the environment except for when it floods, but acid rain can be harmful to the environment. It slowly kills off trees and pollutes the rivers which kills aquatic mammals.
Urban storm water contains fecal matter from pets, oil and antifreeze from cars, materials poured into stormwater grates (paint etc.), car washing soaps, dust and litter.
Rural storm water can contain manure, fertilizer, pesticides, soil, lost fuel and chemicals.
oil spills will occur, and eventually the rain will wash it into the ocean
Erosin is just runoff! the runoff affect the lithosphere
Heavy runoff from pollutants can affect lakes and rivers water quality.
water runoff causes erosion by beating the surface of the land
The Major Factors That Affect The Amount Of Water Runoff In An Area Are: - amount of vegetation and non-permeable surfaces (development) - slope of land (grade) - duration and rate of rainfall - nature of ground (soil type) - soil saturation (moisture)
accelerated urban development and land disturbance reducing the land's ability to absorb runoff
It is called runoff
The first factor is the amount of rain an area receives, the second factor is vegetation, the third factor is the type of soil, the fourth factor is the shape of land, and the final factor is how people use the land.
....runoff is when water overflows from a river so if theres too much rain it could overflow the river and create a runoff
A non example of runoff is groundwater because groundwater, the water flows under the ground and as for runoff the water flows over the land's surface
Infrastructure affect land use because they often take up a whole lot of our land especially roads and airports.
Infrastructure can influence land use by determining where development occurs and how land is utilized. Access to transportation, utilities, and services can drive land development patterns, with key infrastructure like roads, water, and energy systems shaping the intensity and type of land use in different areas. Well-planned infrastructure projects can support sustainable land use by providing connectivity and resources necessary for efficient and well-managed development.
