What is water that flows over earth's surface?
Water that flows over Earth's surface is called runoff. Runoff is an important agent of erosion, especially if the water is moving fast. The more speed water has, the more material it can carry with it.
How fast or slow does it take for water to go through soil?
Depends on the type of soil.
What carries more sediments a fast moving or a slow moving water?
Fast moving water.
What is it called when water soaks into the soil due to gravity?
That is usually called, "Percolation". The percolation rate, or just perc rate, indicates how fast the water soaks in. That in turn tells you a lot about the soil, itself.
How fast water can go through sandy soil then silty soil?
The water will go through the soil but not as fast as the regular-or dirt but sand it will go through very slow butt if you have very little sand it will go through it just a little bit faster than all that sand that you put in a jar to play with or stor away some time for your kids or your self to pla with butt any wayhe water will go through mud and dirt faster than sand but you should know that wright. Hopefully you don't know that, because it is WRONG! In fact, the opposite is true. Water flows through the tiny void spaces between the soil particles. That is, the larger the void spaces the greater the velocity of water flowing through the soils. So now we just need to know the void ratio of different types of soils. In simplest terms, the smaller the particles, the smaller the void ratio. However, the void ratio is also dependent on the angularity and shape of the soil, the moisture content of the soil and the density of the soil. But for all things equal, the velocity of water following through the following soil types are listed in order of greatest to smallest: Boulders (Fastest) Gravel (Fast) Sand (Average) Silt (Medium Slow) Clay (Slow) This is a very simplified answer.

What are fast-moving river called?
A fast flowing stream is called a rapid. Rapids are where the water flows downhill very fast and over underwater obstacles.
What is the crevice through which the magma bursts out of?
The opening that you are asking about is called a vent. Magma can burst through any weakness in the side of a Volcano or underground passage where Magma is close to the surface. There are also openings called Tubes that are sometimes formed that Magma flows through that are like channels and the Lava stays very hot and flows very fast through them to the end where it comes out very fluid.
What factor influence how fast a river flows?
The slope of the river bed and the amount of water in the river.
What happens if the water flows really fast in a river?
Among other things, it transports coarse sediment.
How fast does the amazon river flows in mph?
it flows at 11.1847mph
How do octopuses get there water?
An octopus take in water and removes oxygen from it. Then it sends the water out of its body through a short funnel. When it gets scared it shoots the water out in a fast jet. It is called Jet Propulsion.
What happens to the speed of a fast-moving mountain stream when it flows onto a plain?
When the water from the stream flows onto a flat plain it countines to flow but not as fast as before it becomes a slow moving stream. It may even become completely still.
Can pond snails be swept away by the stream?
No because there stickiness... Unless it rains a lot and it over flows and the water is to fast.
Does eletricity flow fast or slow?
Compared to molasses, water in the olde mill stream, or traffic on the interstate highway, electric current flows very fast. Compared to the speed of light, in vacuum and in most material media, electric current flows slower.
What happens to the speed of a fast-moving mountain stream when it flows onto a flat plain?
When the water from the stream flows onto a flat plain it countines to flow but not as fast as before it becomes a slow moving stream. It may even become completely still.
How fast travel sound through water?
3400mph
