An excessive amount of water flowing downslope along earth's surface is called?
it a runoff
Does vegetation affect the amount of runoff?
Yes, plants absorb some of the water. It thick vegetation might slow runoff down too.
What is erosion and how does it affect the lithosphere?
Erosin is just runoff! the runoff affect the lithosphere
What factors affect water runoff?
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)
What is water that flows across earths surface?
Runoff
What are the two main ways of how a mountain is formed?
Erosion and Surface Runoff
How would an increase in storm runoff to rivers most likely affect ground water?
An increase in storm runoff to rivers most likely would affect ground water by reducing the amount of infiltration and groundwater recharge. This is where water moves downward from surface water to ground water.
The amount of surface runoff increases as?
A number of factors. Soil saturation is one.
Is surface runoff the best thing for the environment?
no surface runoff is not

How does fertilizer in surface water runoff affect algae?
once the surface runoff has reached a water body if the fertilizer contains nitrogen or phosphorous it can lead to eutrophic conditions in the water that promote algae growth. the algae growth will also be effected by the amount of flushing in the water body, temperature and if the water is stagnant or has ripples/waves.
Does rain or run off cause more effect on changing the shape of a mountain?
Runoff - Rain is dispersed across a wide area (the entire surface of the area where it falls.) Runoff is a large amount of rain collected into a low point of the mountain, forming streams and rivers. So, more concentrated body of water is able to move more material, meaning that the runoff is able to cause more focused erosion than the rain alone.
That water that moves across Earths surface after rainfall is called what?
runoff
What is erosion and how does it affect the lithosphere?
Erosin is just runoff! the runoff affect the lithosphere
What factors affect water runoff?
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)
What is snowmelt runoff?
Runoff is water that flows over the ground surface. Snowmelt runoff is runoff from melting snow.
