What is erosion and how does it affect the lithosphere?
Erosin is just runoff! the runoff affect the lithosphere
What are the human impacts on surface runoff?
Urbanization increases surface runoff, by creating more impervious surfaces such as pavement and buildings, that do not allow percolation of the water down through the soil to the aquifer. It is instead forced directly into streams or storm water runoff drains, where erosion and siltation can be major problems, even when flooding is not. Increased runoff reduces groundwater recharge, thus lowering the water table and making droughts worse, especially for farmers and others who depend on water wells.
What is water that flows across earths surface?
Runoff
What are the two types of runoff?
Surface runoff and Subsurface runoff. Basically, above ground and below ground
Running water above earth surface?
surface runoff (also known as overland flow or terrestrial runoff) is the unconfined flow of water over the ground surface, in contrast to channel runoff (or stream flow)
How does urbanization paving etc affect runoff and infiltration in a small previously forested drainage basin?
Infiltration decreases; runnoff increases
How urbanization affect river discharge?
Urbanization generally means more impermeable surfaces, like concrete. This increases the amount of runoff (rain going to rivers) which means an increase in the amount (and velocity) of discharge.
Is surface runoff the best thing for the environment?
no surface runoff is not
That water that moves across Earths surface after rainfall is called what?
runoff

What is snowmelt runoff?
Runoff is water that flows over the ground surface. Snowmelt runoff is runoff from melting snow.
What is water that flows across earths surface?
Runoff
What type of places can surface runoff be at?
In areas where there is no snow, runoff will come from rainfall. However, not all rainfall will produce runoff because storage from soils can absorb light showers. Infiltration excess overland flow more commonly occurs in arid and semi-arid regions, where rainfall intensities are high and the soil infiltration capacity is reduced because of surface sealing, or in paved areas. When the soil is saturated and the depression storage filled, and rain continues to fall, the rainfall will immediately produce surface runoff. Urbanization increases surface runoff, by creating more impervious surfaces such as pavement and buildings, that do not allow percolation of the water down through the soil to the aquifier.

What is the final destination for runoff that flows on the surface of the earth?
