The force of gravity keeps water flowing down hill.Where slopes are steep,the water in streams and rivers flows very fast. :) <3
What else can I help you with?
The greatest amount of rainwater infiltration occurs on the side of a hill if the surface of a permeable soil has?
large soil particles and a gentle slope
How does the of a hill affect the runoff of surface water?

What is a slope geography?
In geography, slope refers to the measurement of how steep or gradual the incline of a land surface is. It is typically expressed as the ratio of vertical rise to horizontal distance and is an important factor in shaping the landscape and influencing processes such as erosion and runoff. Steep slopes can impact soil erosion, water flow patterns, and vegetation distribution.
What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?
If a line has a negative slope it is going 'down hill' and if it has a positive slope it is going 'up hill'
Name for the incline of a hill?
The incline of a hill is its slope. The term slope is also used in math.
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.
Which force balances gravity on a rock on a hill?
The force that balances gravity on a rock on a hill is the normal force exerted by the surface of the hill on the rock perpendicular to the slope. This force prevents the rock from sliding down the hill due to gravity.
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.
Side of a mountain or hill?
The slope.
What is a raised part of the earth's surface smaller than a mountain?
A raised part of the earth's surface smaller than a mountain is called a hill. Hills are elevated areas that are lower in altitude and size compared to mountains, and they are characterized by a gradual incline or slope.
Is gravity on hill less than on plane?
Gravity on a plane is less then on a hill because you are away from the earth, However gravity in a plane over a hill is more then gravity on a plane over a valley at the same altitude above sea level.
What is the antonym for runoff?
There could be several, depending on the precise sense of the word "runoff". "Inflow", for example. Or "pooling". For example, the rain falls on the hillside and "runs off". The water flows down the hill, away from the slope, and goes into a river. Do we want to emphasize the sense that the water goes away, or the sense that it doesn't remain on the hillside?
