Water moving along the grounds surface is called a river or a flood.. A river or a flood both contain moving water. River water is consistently moving. A flood will have water moving until it goes away.

How do you stay on the surface of earth when it is rotating?

Gravity. And, we are moving right along with the surface.


Water moving along the ground surface. What is that called?

That is called runoff, which occurs when water flows over the ground surface instead of infiltrating into the soil. Runoff can be generated by rainfall, snowmelt, or irrigation.


What is to move smoothly along a surface?

To glide smoothly along a surface typically refers to moving effortlessly and without resistance. This could apply to activities like ice skating, skiing, or even certain types of vehicles like boats or planes moving through water or air.


Does fast moving water carry more or less sediment?

Fast moving water carries more sediment because it has more energy to erode and transport sediments from the surface of the earth. As water velocity increases, it can pick up and carry larger and heavier particles along with it.


Which of these is a form of moving surface water?

We typically think of surface water as primarily existing in lakes and rivers. Moving surface water would primarily be in the form of rivers and streams. Subsurface water moves as well, though slowly, in many aquifers. Indeed, even a glacier moves water in its solid form. There is, of course, turnover of water in any lake or swamp that has an outlet, so that water moves in a technical sense, though the characterization of moving water would typically be reserved for water moving fast enough to be noticeable. There does not seem to be a scientific criterion for how fast water needs to move to be considered "moving" in the macroscopic sense. a stream A+


What is degree of freedom of a particle when moving on a surface?

A particle moving on a surface has two degrees of freedom: one for movement along the surface (translation) and one for rotation around an axis perpendicular to the surface.

Does a water sprout create small wave as it moves along the water's surface?

No, a water spout does not create small waves as it moves along the water's surface. Water spouts are rotating columns of water and spray that are lifted by a tornado or waterspout forming from the surface of a body of water.


Water that flows downhill along Earths surface is called?

Runoff is the water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth.


What moves water horizontally?

A surface current is a wind-powered current that moves water along horizontally. Because the wind is on the surface, a surface current only forms along the first few hundred feet of ocean water.


How are currents useful for fishermen?

Sometimes the wind blows away the warm water on the surface of the ocean and is replaced by cold water from below. When this cold water rises up, it brings fish food, such as plankton, to the surface. Schools of fish gather to these places to feed and they make good fishing grounds. Also by travelling along the currents it saves time and fuel.
