What else can I help you with?
How does runoff erode land?
water runoff causes erosion by beating the surface of the land
How has urban development reduced the land's ability to absorb runoff?
accelerated urban development and land disturbance reducing the land's ability to absorb runoff
How does run off effect the rate of erosion?
Runoff can significantly increase the rate of erosion by carrying sediment and pollutants away from the land surface. When runoff flows quickly over the land, it can pick up soil particles and transport them to nearby water bodies, leading to erosion of the land. The more runoff that occurs, the more erosion can potentially happen as it carries away valuable topsoil.
What is water that flows over the land rather than infiltrating into the ground is referred to as?
It is called runoff
Why does water runoff the land?
Because, the land is above sea level, and the sea s at sea level so it runs to the lowest point due to gravity.
What is a example of runoff?
A non example of runoff is groundwater because groundwater, the water flows under the ground and as for runoff the water flows over the land's surface
What is when rain rolls into a stream is?
When rain is heavy and land is inclined , it rolls into stream. It is known as runoff.
Water from precipitation that flows across land and collects in rivers and streams?
I believe that would be called RUNOFF water.
What is a non example of runoff?
A non example of runoff is groundwater because groundwater, the water flows under the ground and as for runoff the water flows over the land's surface
What is specific runoff?
Specific runoff refers to the amount of water that flows over the land into streams and rivers as a result of precipitation. It is typically measured as the volume of water that flows over a specific area of land in a given time period. Specific runoff is an important factor in hydrology studies and helps determine the potential for flooding in an area.
The land area in which runoff flows into a river and its tributaries is a?
headwaters
What is the water that moves over the land and carries particles with?
runoff
