The force of gravity keeps water flowing down hill.Where slopes are steep,the water in streams and rivers flows very fast. :) <3

Is runoff precipitation?
Runoff is the movement of water over the surface of the ground and may include precipitation as part of it. Runoff occurs when the ground is unable to absorb all the water from rain or snowmelt, leading to excess water flowing over the surface and potentially causing flooding.
What does run-off mean in geography?
Where water that has fallen from the clouds goes down the surface of a hill/mountain and goes into a river
What is a terrace?
A terrace is a leveled section of a hill cultivated area, designed as a method of soil conservation to slow or prevent the rapid surface runoff of rapid irrigation water.
What do you call the process after precipitation occurs in which water flows down hill?
The process after precipitation in which water flows downhill is called "surface runoff." This occurs when excess water from rain or melting snow cannot be absorbed by the ground, leading to the movement of water over the land's surface toward lower elevations, ultimately reaching streams, rivers, and lakes. Surface runoff is a key component of the hydrological cycle and can contribute to soil erosion and water pollution.
How does a river form using runoff?
Runoff is extra water that came from anoter body of water, usually after a big rainstorm. If there is enough water going down hill, it can form a river.
When A student is making a diagram of the water cycle. What should the student draw to illustrate runoff?
An arrow pointing down a hill to a body of water
Why is soil erosion maximum along the hill slopes?
It's steeper than a flat surface, and water doesn't usually run uphill, unlike the Nile. If precipitation occurs at the top of the hill, the water doesn't stay at the top and just sink into the ground as storage water. It rolls down the hill as runoff. The water, on it's way down, picks up sediment and rocks, and caries it to the bottom of the hill and a lot of times into a river, lake, stream, creek, e.c.t. It's maximum there because water can't move at a steady pace on a flat surface or uphill unless its a river or creek.
What is water called that flows down hill after it raains?
A clearer and, or more detailed question is needed.
How can you use the word runoff in a sentence?
Runoff from the field sprayed with herbicides polluted the river. The heavy rains caused runoff that eroded the hill. We planted trees on the hillside so runoff from heavy rains would not cause erosion.
What are some forces that might affect a rock as it tumbles down a hill?
A force hit the rock which made it roll down the hill.
What does run-off mean?
Run off is where, say you lived on a farm and you have a little steep hill that leads to a pond. If you watered your plants some of the water you used would 'run off' down the hill and into the pond.
