Water on Earth's surface can move through processes including precipitation (rain, snow), runoff (flowing on surface), infiltration (seeping into soil), evaporation (turning into vapor), and transpiration (loss of water from plants). Gravity plays a significant role in guiding water movement downhill, which can also create rivers and streams. Human activities like irrigation and damming can also influence the movement of water on the Earth's surface.

What moves water parallel to Earth's surface?
Winds and ocean currents move water parallel to Earth's surface. Winds can create surface currents through friction with the ocean's surface, while ocean currents are driven by a combination of factors such as wind, temperature, salinity, and the Earth's rotation.
How does the water move from Earth's surface to the atmosphere?
Water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere through a process called evaporation, where water is heated by energy from the sun and changes into water vapor. This water vapor then rises into the atmosphere and forms clouds through a process called condensation, eventually leading to precipitation when the water droplets become heavy enough to fall back to Earth as rain or snow.
The energy to move water between earth's surface and atmosphere comes from?
The energy to move water between the Earth's surface and atmosphere primarily comes from the sun. Solar energy drives the water cycle by causing evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, and land surfaces, which then forms clouds and eventually precipitates back as rain or snow.
What covrrs 70 percent of the Earth's surface?
Water covers 70% of the Earth's surface.
Water on earth or earth in water?
It is more correct to say that water is on the earth. Though the surface of the earth is mostly covererd with water, the operative word is "covered." The water covers most of the earth's surface, so the water could be said to be sitting on the earth. Which it is.
What are the large bodies of ice that move across the Earth's surface called?
Glaciers are large bodies of ice and compacted snow that move across the Earth's surface. Icebergs are large bodies of compacted ice and snow in cold oceans, but the biggest mass sits below the water line. Icebergs do not move across the Earth's surface, but instead, the water's surface.
Why the earth does not move when i jump on the surface of it?
the earth is too large to move
What moves water parallel to Earth's surface?

What explains the movement of the Earth?
The earth's crust moves because the earth has tectonic plates that move because the magma under the earth's surface is constantly boiling. Since the water moves, it causes the earth's crust to move.
What process causes water to move from Earth's surface to the atmosphere during the water cycle?
The water on Earth's surface is heated up, and the particles start moving fast enough to push each other away. This causes the water to become a gas, which rises. This process is called evaporation.
What part of the earth's surface is water?
3/4 of the earth's surface is water.
What percentage of the earth's surface is water?
71.13% of the earth is covered by water. Only 3% of that water is fresh water, the rest is salt water.
Water covers about what percentage of the earth's surface?
Water covers about 71% of Earth's surface

Is there more land or water on earth?
There is more water on Earth than land (surface area). Water covers nearly 71% of the Earth's surface. While Earth's surface is mostly water, Earth is nearly all rock. Just 0.5% of the planet by weight is water. -Thong Tran
What surface heat faster then water surface on earth?
water!
